   Done some research and came up with the bow name "a' no wa ra"   It is the Mohawk word for turtle...Here's a link for those of you that are interested  http://www.firstvoices.com/en/Kanienkeha-Mohawk-EN/word/98dc1f36f6c8b2df/turtle

Mr. Burchett, you have really out done your bad self . To my mind that is an absolute perfect example of a Eastern Woodland type bow. When I got to see the "shootin movie" that arrow came out sweet, hard, and damned quick too.  Got to believe that will shoot pass-through arrows slam through a whitetail.
    Dont say too much is "perfect" but damned if that is not. Ought to be in a museum after ya kill a few deer mind ;) Absolutely top notch all around my friend.

I love it.  I really like the paint job and the turtle claw.  I have never seen a bow with a claw like that.  I love to see bows of all natural materials.  Looks like a fun shooter too.

Nice work, Don. I bet that sucker has some mass to it. The wood  itself is so dense. It surprised me.

  Wow guy's! Thanks for all the kind words...!!!!!

   Stoner, thanks for the compliment man...

   half eye, Rich I couldn't have done it without you man...After all the handle was your idea, thanks buddy...Top notch rawhide strings you sent also...

   Swampman, I'm glad you like it...I thought the claw handle made for an interesting project...

   Chris, Thanks and yes OS is dense and doesn't take much to make a heavy hitter...

   Leonwood, thank you for the very fine compliment...

   DBar, thanks, it was sinewed after floor tiller / long string and never weighed it until I started recent tillering...

   stickbowbeard, thank you for the kind words!

That's a fine piece of work there! You should be very proud and don't worry...you will eventually learn how to be patient.

Don,
  I think everyone likes it as much as I do.  That's top notch work, I just don't see how it could be any better! A lot of time, thought, and effort went into that bow. It has paid off with a bow that is unique.   I think its BOM  material. what do you guys think?    You have outdone yourself Don.

Stunning work and with that quiver it's probably the most awesome set I have ever clapped eyes on. Inspirational.

Thanks for sharing, it's a beauty and btw I'm extremely interested to learn all I can find about ocean spray. It's become nearly an obsession. I keep finding more and more, now, good quality stuff. Can't hardly wait until winter time again so I can cut the latest finds.

I love that OS works so well for this, and no one gets angry if you cut some.
