My latest monstrosity

This is my skunk bow I skinned several to use asl backing for the bow it turned out great it is  45 lbs at 27 inches lots of fun to shoot. I'm putting it in the fair this year.

Heating and tillering

This is my cousin bow Im making. It is a cherokee longbow. I took pictures of this part of the bow making process because it is one of the best parts. I heat the bow over a fire to make it stronger and more rigid and then begin tillering,.There is nothing like seeing the bow bend for the first time.The last picture is of my dog because she is a good dog and posed for the camera.

Bow and spear combo

I love this one. It is a bow and spear combo. The bow and spear are stained with ash from my fire. They are beautiful both trimmed with fox fur. The spear has an aged metal tip.

Southwestern tribe Bird bow

This bow is based on the deflexed Southwestern bow with bird tipped arrows with duck feather  fletchings. This was made to fit nicely over my piano.

Apache short bow

This is my Apache short bow I made for my brother Wayne. This one was alot of fun. I took my time building it and it was worth every second. The bow is 38 lbs at 24 inches and is 4 feet tall unstrung. So enjoy these pics and let me know if you want one.
