looks good. I like the tiller and the way you layed out the skins with the rattle sections at the tips.

its a sappling about a month old, made od blue beech [ironwood]
its shorter than my arm span,the target is 48"x48" for those who want to compare.
the handle is 2 fingers wide thru most of the limb and about a finger thick the whole length.
made hide glue from a rotten smellin deer rawhide, and a 2 ply string from the top of rump section,and tied a bowline loop to string it and a tight twisted loop at the top.
finished it with a scrap pc, of quiver leather arrowpass, shaped like an inverted long raindrop pulled tight to handle by means of sinew.
and hide glue and hemp rope handlewrap over it.
then i waxed it all up for waterproofin the snake skins.
the bow was smudged and fatted before i put on the skins.
annnnd thats about it.

Awesome. The lack of "civilized" measurements is refreshing. Good job, and looks like a good shooter.

He makes good shooters. Got one of his bows, 70# at 28 and it zips arrows at a frightening pace. Good job Jamie. Rocks comming soon.
