This is a great bow. I am glad you got it finished so quick. I have one going that is similar, but I'm making it with all stone tools. It has been going for a couple of years and still not done.  ??? Justin

It quit raining so me and the daughter went out and took a few more pics . I still don't think the pics do the bow the justice it deserves,but maybe I"m a bit partial ? ::)

Tom explained to me the the color red,is for the earth,black is for the mountains, and wht/yellow is for the sun. The four bands on the limb tips represent the 4 winds. There is suppose to be a lock of the bowyers hair on the upper limb tip, but my hair is too short for that,so I used some horse hair, which is also correct to use. many more things to all this,but more later. Here are a few more pics for those so impatient. ;)

We were playing around with some different angles and light,and we came up with this. The angle makes the tiller look a bit strong on the top, which it is a bit. ;) I'm not especially fond of the full draw tiller on this bow,but it just shoots so darn well I hated to change it. I can live with it.

Now you did it!! Much better photos, I like that full draw shot, TOO COOL!! How did you attach the horse hair? I think it was Mims that said something about getting hung up on perfect tiller and learning to just quit when the bow shoots well. You did good SON!!
