I've been busy lately making some Native influenced bows, quivers and arrows. Here is a pic of one bow next to a stave I'm still tillering.

Very Cool.
Great color choices for a green and brown bush hunt, and I notice you have a cartridge tipped bunny bonker. Good to see you still making bows. A while back you were producing them like a machine. Kevin (My real name) |

I love the woodlands style bow, and that is one of the nicest ones I have seen. What kind of wood is it?
