Incredible job.  It looks like a real savage made it.  Great tiller, too.  I hope you harvest a critter with it.

Thanks Alan...I tried to make it as Museum Specific (wouldn't concider it Museum Quality) as I could...I really like it....it is one that I don't see Me parting with either! I really like making Authentic Bows...I am not into the newer styles....to me you may as well Buy a Recurve...JMO

The Tips on this Bow you were asking about were cut...damned near all the way through from the back to the Belly with a Triangle File...then I boiled them...and bent them over till they touched....Glued them....I then wrapped Sinew soaked in Hide Glue lengthwise over the Tips,,,and then a course around the Limb...just below the Nock...I did this with three Layers total to make sure that there was enough strength...it's a Lot of Work....but that is the way the Hupa Indians made theirs

Sorry People,  for reasons beyond my control I am not able to take photos of Native American Bows And Arrows,Arrow heads  At Clark Museum In Eureka California Because of Ceremonial reasons.
You can always Come to Humboldt county to view these relics in there cases.
I Don't understand if they are so Ceremonial, why aren't they on the Reservation. Another reason to be dissapointed in  Red Tape. >:(
