Sweet bow set Chuck! Although I’m fairly certain those shafts were osoberry aka Indian plum.

I find inspiration in your bows.  Appreciate that you make bows as you consider the past bow materials and designs of the natives. 


And, I always wondered about chasing a ring on a board.  You just rasp gently and then knife edge gently, basically, I imagine...

Thanks everyone. Not sure how thick the rawhide was. Thin enough to stretch the fibers out to make it about 35% longer. I tie about 10 # weight on the strings and use that to twist the strands. Then leave the weight connected until it's dry

Board was 4.5" thick. I usually get easier boards than this but this was the best hickory they had that day.

Ryan, I still have that plum. You send me these shafts a long time back. You said you got them from someone else and traded them forward to me. That was you right?
