Dave,  I'm impressed.   I like the style and the artwork!    Ron

That's a really cool bow.  Excellent details and I love the "knotty" character on the belly.  Great job and thanks for blowing everyone else's chances for Feb BOM.   ;D  You earned this one!

Great bow! Maybe all us Oregon boys should put up bows this month and make a run on the rest of the country. Joel

I definitely am not counting on BOM, not with all these talented bowyers out there :D D. Tiller: I do believe it is Hupa, not positive though, I copied it from TBB vol. #1 steve allelys article. here is a pic of the side profile that dana requested, and a close-up of squiggles.

Beauty!  Now I'm inspired to try some steam bending on ERC (our local Juniper).

Great little bow. The braced and unbraced profile look great and the artwork is outstanding.     Pat

 Gosh Dave just had to take another look at that sweet little bow. That paint job came out awesome and it dosn't look like it taken any set at all.   You did real good on that one Bro.   Good luck on BOM.      Keenan

Cool bow.

What size is that tipi ? Can't decide if it is a 12 or 14' .

Dave, you think if you used sinew one could be made arround 36" in length for a 24" or less draw?  I will have to find some Juniper while at the Buttes to turn into one. These little beuaties are starting to make my mouth water. Plus, I bet they make good brush hunting bows for close in work!
