Nice tiller on that shorty bub, way to stretch er' out. Looks like a good shooter that would also be fun to shoot.

NICE!

Awesome bow.  I have been following this one from the beginning and it sure turned out nice.  I bet it's fast.  I got a sack full of leg sinew that I am gonna have to start processing.  Gonna have to try sinew backing one for sure.  Great work, as usual bubby.

It looks great. I was thinking about doing a sinew backed ash Ishi bow for my trade bow.

POW! Looks great Bub. Get her dolled up and lets see her again!

Looking good bub. Since its an ishi bow I'd personally wrap some red wool around the handle, finish it off with grease and wax, and twist up a sinew string to make it pure primitive..  ;D

Oh Bubby, that's cool.  You gotta dress her up a bit.  It's just screaming for it...
