Primitive Archer

Sleek it seems like you have a few bows already.

I would like to donate a flint knife. Would you like it for this drawing, or would you prefer to start some prizes for next year?

PS there’s at least one of those poster covers that I like Pat . My article about my second selfbow buck is in the one. “All in a Days Work”

A knife would absolutely be a great addition to the prize pot BJ, and I am grateful to you for the offer! This is set up like a rolling prize pot, the winner chooses an item from it, and the rest roll over to next year.

I had a friend leave one strung over his fire place for a year or so. It took lots of set and became a dog  But kept the strung shape. But a nice decoration for the fire place.

Nice looking points

Old thread, I know.

I can't add much to what the others have said, but it is a beautiful bow in every way.  As far as black Palm goes, Rich Scaffold made several black palm ELBs back in the day that were very nice.  He is also the person that brought the first Ipe to MoJam, which he also used for long skinny ELBs that were very well mannered.  It is a beautiful addition to your bow.
