Wow, that is awesome, super nice work. When I'm grown up, I'm gonna have a beard like you and build such phantastic gear  ;D
Really also loved the one you posted earlier with the cow horn.

Beautiful. So you just glued and wrapped the siyahs and handle on, without splicing? Did you have any problems with stability or the siyahs twisting? Gorgeous bow!

Beautiful work!
Wonderful seeing the video of the young gal shooting , your daughter?
its also great seeing a "European" , proud of his own indigenous heritage, and replicating the skills
of his own ancestors. keeping these arts alive and passing it on to the younger generations.

When i'm giving presentations in local schools using stories and showing traditional arts of my own native ancestors in this country,
I have to remind American children that not only Indians shot bows and arrows! Their own ancestors
were highly skilled at knapping flint points and making even similar things that my own ancestors did.

when i'm working on things my ancestors worked, singing the songs my ancestors sang, dancing the same dances, speaking the same language, only then  I feel connected to the land, THIS land, where my ancestors walked for thousands of years...

Nice, thank you for posting those pictures of your core, it is very helpful and interesting. It looks to me like you simply glued the handle to the core strip of wood, but you did cut and spliced the siyahs to the core strip. Is this correct? And man, masterful work, thank you for sharing.
