Cherokee Tiger, Bow

<< < (6/8) > >>

Pat B:
Santuu, They shoot surprisingly well for such a simple design. This was a basic style for the Native Americans in the Southeastern US. They even built 68" heavy war bows of the same style. Most were made with hickory, ash, elm and locust and probably other hardwoods.     Pat

bowstick:
Nice bow! 

What exactly is the tiger stripe pattern?? Like a cloth?  Do you glue it to the bow?

Thanks

Justin

Pat B:
Justin, The tiger stripe material is animal print tissue paper glued with watered down Elmer's white glue. The tissue paper is very thin and tears easily when wet so getting it to lay flat is difficult. Pat

Thanks Marlon. Just trying something different and I think it worked. ;D    Pat
