Nice bow, How do you make a quiver like that?  I have to have one!

Do you need a concealed carry permit for that one. I’m sure that’s a wicked little bugger.

PS most of my arrows are almost that long.

thank you, yes the arrow has two grooves, is made of dogwood, has feathers of wild turkey tied sinew and a metal tip. I dream of getting as close as possible to the bows and arrows used on great plains

I really like those tips.  Did you sculpt them with just sinew?

Stunning bow, that rattlesnake skin really ties it together. When did you glue the snake skin on? was it straight after the last layer of sinew, or did you let it dry before applying?
