Really pretty finish work. How is it shooting? Are you getting a good feeling from shooting it compared to what you are used to? Congrats!

Nice bow and art work. Well done sir!
Did the Native Americans think about all this that much or just do it?

It shoots pretty nicely.  Smooth draw and no hand shock.  I don't shoot often since I got my mulberry bow shooting, which is what I will be working on today.

It turned out really nice. Obviously you have a knack for art work.

Nice work Eli! Loving the leather work. Your recent grip post inspired me to do a little leather stamping on a bow I just wrapped up. I didn't attempt anything as intricate as you are doing here, but maybe with some more practice. 
Keep up the great work!

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

Turns out some thing that intricate is easy to tool but dying is a real pain

Awesome Bow. I totally get the whole "not yet finished " thought process. There always seems to be something I want to do with my latest bow. I think, for me, it's tough to let them go. Nice work.

Lovely work sir!
