here are some more pictures of the bow.  Again, remember that this was all stone tool work and tiller was achieved slowly and by eye of watching the brace and floor tillering of the limbs.  Tiller certainly isn't perfect and also notice I am an inch or so short of where I normally draw to.  I was worried about over drawing the bow since I didn't use a tiller stick or tape measure to actually measure any of the draw length or weight specs, just going by feel of shooting naturally, 23-24 inches.  I guess you can say I am a little worried about breaking the bow, not because I don't think it would take more bend, but more because I have so much work into the bow, I'd hate to break it taking a picture and accidentally drawing it too far while doing a static, standing, full draw photo.   estimation of 60#  +\- a couple pounds.  It's funny how naked you feel when you don't take measurements when making, drawing, and weighing.

I'll bet ISHI would've been proud of such a bow! Primitive, primal, functional. Go kill something! Congratulations on a fine accomplishment.
