Thanks Snake, I put a lot of effort and have practiced a lot to get sinew looking good. Thanks for the compliment.

Thanks Dana, Got to get together a Michigan Bow Build this spring.

That bow looks very graceful, and a nice sinew job!  How many Layers of sinew did U put ?

A likely source of the "shimmery stone" would be the mica here in the Black Hills.  It's in every streambed and is finer than most glitter you would buy and twice as sparkly.  It's pretty easy to pan it out using a novice goldpanning technique.  (lotsa people think they are pulling ounces of gold an hour only to find it ain't nothing but all natural organic stripper dust!)

Did the Native Americans think about all this that much or just do it?

Can't believe we are responding to a thread this old I was going to say, JW, Mica or Pyrite. Both, sparkly.

 If you have to pull the trigger, is it really archery?

Great work and attention to detail! I made this bow a few years ago too. Did you use mica?

I am interested in seeing you bend those curves in with your form, so next time you make one, please post some pics of your setup!
