Well, Wiz, like I said, that is one, cool bow. Just looking at it you can see a lot of hours involved.

Very nicely done.  Caribou sinew would have been a good alternative if you could have found some

Incredible job bringing history back to life with that bow.  All of the hours of hard work paid off with an amazing bow.

You should write a book with a chapter dedicated to this bow.  Archery books have been written by guys that don't have near the skill sets that you possess.  I would buy it just for the photos alone.  Thanks for bringing that piece of history to us.

I'm pretty sure you could give a seminar on the flemish twist method of string making by now.....lol.On a side note I imagine if a bow like this was used up above the arctic circle in the dead of winter the dry cold air would be a benefit to the sinew stiffening up for better poundage.

That, for me, is one of the best bows I've seen over the years on the site.  So good.  It screams focus and commitment to the project.

Outstanding bow.

Impressive...labor of love right there.

I had a guy offer to sell me baleen a few years ago. What little I knew about it was that it might not be legal in all instances, so I said no. Always wondered it I missed out. Heck, I wouldnt have even known if it baleen having never seen it.

Very cool bow, Goat. I don't think I've seen a modern made one before, only in museums.
 The dreary day made for fantastic pics. No shadows to compete with.
 Very well done!

Yea I like the pics too.  Very cool.  I picture an elk slowly looking toward that creaking noise as I (I mean you) draw down on him.
