Thank you guys.
I know I have too many, but I have been getting better at breaking glass so I think I have to put every point I make on a stick & then have to try different kinds of sticks. I'm thinking after I get to run one in the side of a deer or elk, I may find what I like the best. Thanks again for looking.  Ed

Thanks for the nice comments, Trapper your point is in the mix there too. The blue glass was from a Bud Platinum beer bottle. I just got my hands on a small piece of obsidian, having fun with that now but I will probable end up having to make arrows with that too.
The bow is made from a limb off of a friends tree. It really needed to be straitened. learned that for next time..Ed

Lookin good Ed!! I usually wrap the business end a little farther up the shaft for extra support, but they all look good to me. Like that quiver, is it tanned deer hide? Side quiver? are those a couple of knives in the last pic on the bottom right? Nice work Man, dpg

DP; Thanks for that, I'll wrap them some more before hunting. The quiver was my 1st attempt at brain tanning, you can say its more of a hard tan. I use it as a back quiver now. need to change the strap for a side quiver. The knives I half-ted, the only blade I made was the glass one, the other two were from ebay. Ed
