I showed the whole set in the shooting thread, but I figured I would focus on the bow more here.
To catch you up to speed, this very bland looking bow is special to me because it (as well as the rest of the set) was made with only stone tools. The bow is made from White Stopper (aka FL Snakewood) it's a sapling bow and 54 inches ntn. It's about 60 pounds. I quite literally scraped this sapling into bow form entirely with a flake of heat treated FL chert. The string is sinew and as you can see I built it for function over fashion. There is no leather grip or strikeplate, only a slight dish carved above the handle for an arrow indicator. Pound for pound it is actually one of the hardest hitting bows I have ever made, likely because it was built so slow and made as reasonably heavy as possible. The tiller is certainly not perfect since it was tillered by feel and by eye of looking at the limbs while braced. Although not fancy by any means, I rank this one as one my all time best bows I've made, shooting wise. Not picky about arrows and just seems to deliver every arrow without wobble within only an inch or 2 if its target. I will take some more photos later and post them up, but for now, all you get is the teaser picture.
