How did I miss this post?  That is a beautiful bow.  I bet it really flings an arrow.  Great job on it Chuck.

Very nice!!!

Always enjoy your post chuck.

Your title does confuse me a bit though.I see the term Ishi style used quite often regarding short bows of wide limb.I was led to believe,that you were kind of a stickler for historical accuracy,or am i mistaken? If i am mistaken,then disregard......

In my personal observation and experience regarding Ishi,i have never witnessed a bow by Ishis hand,that was of a pyramid front profile.All the bows i have examined,that were credited to Ishi were a flat bow with parallel limb width,from just past grip to near tip.Had you used Modoc or Shasta,i would not have a question.

I sometimes am Traxx, and your right, but I also want to give credit where it's due. Besides making it more of a pyramid taper than his and obvious things like snakeskin, the rest is Ishi. Juniper, sinew and his pin nocks. If I ever make a post with "replica" in it, I welcome you to try and find a flaw.

That looks pretty amazing!

I'm not sure how to interpret the half in 3.5 layers of sinew, though. Sounds like digging half a hole, if you know what i mean.
Anyhow, thanks for sharing your beautiful work. This bow looks like what many of us dream of making and few of us will ever realize.
