Lovely bow you made! The belly in particular looks very stunning. Now I'll have to start looking for chokecherry trees around here!  >:D

Man I like that bow a lot Redhand. Has a cool primitive vibe with the sinew, brain tan, and green earth pigment. I like the bow design as well as the decorations, again very primitive in style to my eyes. Profiles and full draw look excellent too. Well made bow all around, I'm looking forward to seeing your next one. :)

Good for smoking arrows!  Good wood for smoking meats, too! Here's hoping one will lead to the other!

Thanks guys I appreciate the comments

Simon  A lot of tribes did use chokecherry to make bows the Utes was on of them.  My grandfather use to tell me stories of when he was a young boy, how is grandfather had made him a bow out of chokecherry that he hunted rabbits with.
