Well done!

Talking trees. What do trees have to talk about, hmm... except the consistency of squirrel droppings?

Very cool bow man.  I am putting the finish on something very similar but in ash.  I really like it.

Excellent work Slim!  That'll make the lady a fine shooter.  I'm kinda partial to hard maple myself.  Unfortunately, the vast majority of maple in my area is silver maple.  So I have to harvest what little I get out east.  But it is worth it!  Josh

Good looking bow, and nice to see another maple. I just cut and split one myself, but the only maple I made so far crysalled on me.

  Good looking bow and I appreciate your stance on political correctness, it is what it is regardless of who made it.

Slim, it's not about building a better bow it's about calling it something it's not and it's not a plains Indian bow Because it was not made by a Native American. Its a replica of a plains Indian bow. But to each is their own your argument is an old one. I'm done on this thread, ignorance is abound when it comes to this subject with non Native people... :embarassed:

So only Native Peoples have the intellect to fully appreciate your line of thought?  Non Natives like myself with all my Non Native ignorance could not possibly comprehend this type of nativist logic. I myself, in all my Non Native ignorance, believe that you can do anything and be anything if you work hard at it, and who your great grandfather was is irrelevant. This not unlike how many of the Native American societies functioned.  Your welcome to visit this post or any of my future posts Sir anytime you wish as I harbor no ill will toward you. Should you decide not to, you won't be missed. 😄

Now that we seem to have moved beyond all that mess.
Thanks Arrowind
Thanks simson, that working recurve you have posted next door is a work of art!
Thanks Pappy
Thanks PEARL
Thanks Don
Thanks Matt
Thanks Josh, got 2 staves left of it!  Really like the wood.
Thanks rps3
Thanks Badger for the kind words on the bow and yes, it is what it is.  I know a Belgian guy that does great quill work and a Native American who admires it.
Thanks Greg for checking in. and anybody I might have inadvertently missed.
