I love the artwork.  Can we see a full draw picture?

Very cool I like the design pattern on the back. 
Sticks and stones and other poky stabby things.

Thanks I made the rawhide using the dry scrape method and hand painted the designs

Whistlingbadger here’s a pic I made this before I was that great at tillering but it shoots smooth and I hand shock and I’ve probably shot it a thousand times

That looks real nice, I like the color and your tiller looks fine. I bet it's a sweet shooting bow.

Yep, tiller looks pretty good to me.  If it shoots well, that's the proof.  Cool bow.
