you should see the bow to shoot it with,
i'd get it but i can't untangle it from itself

(its the problem with being an artist...get distracted from makin proper arrows.)

yep, thats my adobe pottery kiln in the background.
adobes made from creek bank mud and sand - stuccoed over.
takes one full wheelbarrow load of split oak to reach temperature
2 1/2 to 3 hour firing. but thats a whole 'nother story.....

heres another crazy arrow mounted on one of my created plates
coiled from natural clay...

I love shootable crooked arrows too.   Your pottery is exceptional. Got some more to show off? Post them under "Around the Campfire".

Very cool arrow.  :)  Now all you need is a snaky bow to go with that arrow.  ;) :) :)

you're right Pappy,

I'll keep my eyes out in the woods for a potential bow stave with a twist and  a loop in it.
hey.....a complete loop might act like a spring...who knows? ;D
