this is a nice looking bow. Can someone explain to me, are there any benefits to having scalloped edges or is this purely for aesthetic reasons?

I'm new to the forum and jsut found this. Beautiful bow, especially love the taper to the tips which I haven't seen on a bow like this before most of those in the Encyclopedia of Native American Bows Arrows and Quivers seem to be less narrow at the tips.

All accolades I can think of have been posted. So will just say, "Congrats!!"

Great looking bow..Well done. I need to try one of those...If you got those skins from Cip...( I got some as well) They are Texas Rat Snake skins....I believe

Lovely bow!.  I really like the dark brown color you put on that Birch wood.  Is there a lammed up backing on the belly that is also made of Birch I suppose?

Could you be persuaded to give us an UNbraced pic or two of the bow?

BTW - I'm thinking those snakes in Texas will eat a chicken as easily as a rat, ...basically anything up to Javalina size can like as not be eaten by one of those dudes or if not then one of their cousins could do the job.  :o :o :o
