Two very cool bows there. Well done.

I don't know which I like better, the bows or the arrows.  Both are great.

Can I ask you, did you come up with that upper stringing nock on the first bow, or is that traditional? I was thinking of trying something like that out lately, but had never seen a nock like that until you posted these bows. Beautiful bows though. Gorgeous.
Great job on your scalloped bows. I like those arrows too--is that an authentic replica design?
The stringing nock on the Iroqouis bow is traditional. The bow is a replica. Whitewoodbow from the Iroquois tribes. Maybe a childs bow. From a drawing by Steve Allely. The arrows are inspired by the 5 nations tribes. Eastern woodland Iroqouis tribes. The feathers are from  "Norwegian forest grouse"

;) Heisan. Er du norsk? Ikke ørn, men røy. Kona til tiur. I've got some hawk feathers for the next arrows. Eagle is difficult to catch. Illegal. :-)
