Thanks everyone, glad you like them.

Okie, I make my scallops just over 1/8 deep and after filing them smooth they are about 1/4" deep. Also the bows have a crowned back and belly so I think that puts the majority of the bend force towards the centerline and less toward the edges. And sand everything so edges are well rounded. If ya want to make great looking cases make 'em just like that rifle case it's good as it gets and I'm proud to have it, sir.   The field points are deer leg bone and hafted with sinew.

Adam, you can also mount the knife sheath to the quiver between the bandolier straps (horizontal)

Thanks fellas for the nice comments. I'll get a closeup of the field points for you.

here are the close-up's of the target points. Pretty easy really, sand the bone flat (as thick as you want) slot it into the shaft, glue it tight w/ superglue. Sand the arrow head and all on the disc sander to a point (whatever ogive you like) resoak the wood with superglue and haft with whatever you choose. treat the hafting with a clear finish to improve the wear-a-bility (I use clear fingernail polish-lacquer-

Very nice work!! Is there a purpose to the scalloped edge on those types of bows, or is it purely decorative?
