Very nice work.  You did a great job of getting an authentic look.  Looks like you heisted them from the museum.  Great tiller too.  :)

Very nice sets! I love the accuracy of your replicas.

the mono chord, the initial rune of fine art
The humanities grew out from archery as a flower from a seed
No sooner did the soft, sweet note of the bow-string charm the ear of genius than music was born, and from music came poetry and painting and..." Maurice Thompso

Cool bows Chuck, very cool.

Beautiful! Excellent work.

Both bows and arrows look very good, and the bend on the bows is great.
Don't shoot!

My kind of bows.  Love 'em!  The arrows are perfect.  Nice job Chuck!

Awesome work Chuck!  You never disappoint!  I've harvested quite a bit of phragmites in your area.  Josh

Thanks everybody. Prig, I agree. Some constructive criticism would be okay for a change. Where is Ryoon when you need him.  Josh, hope you cut a lot. I cull out lots of weak and imperfect phragmities to find a good shaft. It's no river cane.

Those are sweeeet!  When I first saw the pic I thought...."did you make those? or are those pics from a museum?"   Seriously.  Awesome.
