Hello Kitty yew bow
« on: December 19, 2014, 05:08:35 pm »
I was commissioned by a tiny human to make her a pink bow. I hope that my friend (her aunt) will be able to get this to her for Christmas.
Yew dyed with leather dye (persimmon red dye), truoil finish which stayed tacky for 15 hours, 42" long, 10#@15". I think I got the arrow shafts from hardware store dowels cut down.

Lucky little girl!

Real nice.
Did the Native Americans think about all this that much or just do it?

Excellent job what little human wouldn't love that set up.

Thanks for the comments you guys! I think I'll be getting a hug as payment for this set. Definitely worth it.
