Nice bow, Ryan

Stunning, how have you done that illustrated panel on the transition? is that a rawhide patch you've painted on to?

That is a beauty all around. Love the detail and I am baffled as to how your beaver tail handle wrap came out so smooth.
"The bow is the old first lyre,
the mono chord, the initial rune of fine art
The humanities grew out from archery as a flower from a seed
No sooner did the soft, sweet note of the bow-string charm the ear of genius than music was born, and from music came poetry and painting and..." Maurice Thompso

That's an incredible bow. Your detail work is really impressive!

What tool did you use to carve the outline of the arrowhead into the wood? Did you crush the turquoise to put in it?

Gorgeous bow! Everything about it is great, but I really like the arrow head with how clean and bright it is. I hope you decide to sit k around for a while again.

Awesome work on that one Ryan.That kind of power out of such a short maneuverable bow is amazing. Sweet job on the finish work also.
