Mike,Rich

you two sure sound like you know your NA history for the region.
i have to ask,here in mn back in the day what tribes would have lived here?
was it Ojibwa? i know we have reservations of Ojibwa near Mille lacs lake(actually right next to it)and they own the casinos there too.
not sure if they were here before they were forced onto reservations or not though.

Mike i realy liked that paddle bow you posted a pics of

Rich those scalloped bows are cool as penguin poop too

Hey Tim,
     I believe that MN was basically a war zone buddy, the Santee Sioux, the Ojibwa, Odawa, Menomine, Ho Chunk and a slew of other Algonquian speaking people did a lot of fighting up in yer neck of the woods but I believe that the Santee were displaced by an allied force of Ojibwa and their allies back in the day, El D may have more info but there was a large number of allies, winnebago, Ho Chunk, menominee, miami, fox, saulk, just to name a few!!!!.....ya may want to check yer emails too!

Count me in on making a few of these bows ,they are way cool. I think I understand the need for quartersawn. Basically, the wood would be  equally stable throughout the stave if quartersawn. Is that right? Anybody have any experience with quarter sawn white oak?

Shakopee MDewakanton Dakota (Sioux)....and the Ojibwa (Chippewa)...Iowa (the Sleepy Ones)...Omaha...Wyandot (those going against the wind or current)....Foxes (wagosh)....Cheyenne (people of alien speech )....  were all Native Tribes to most of the Minnesota Lands...but after all of the Indian Wars...and all of the reloxations....Minnesota ended up being the Home to 11 different Bands...mostly Ojibwa and Sioux..they are the Bois Forte Band of Chippewas.... Grand Portage Band of the Minnesota Chippewa Tribe....Red Lake Band of Chippewa Indians....White Earth Ojibwa....Leech Lake Band of Ojibwa....Fond du Lac Ojibwa....Mille Lacs Band of Ojibwa .... Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux....Upper Sioux Indian Community....Lower Sioux Indian Community....and the  Prairie Island Indian Community (Dakota)......these are the 11 Reservations that were set up in Minnesota

Grunt,
       One thing about these short "D" bows, they are pretty flat so when you shoot them you almost have to "plam" them, (sort of let the bow settle into the palm of the hand. A lot of guys dont like the flat,thin bendy handles. If you are one of them you should plan on either wrapping the grip with cordage covered with leather.....or add leather pads to the back and belly and then wrap that.
      Just something you may not have given any thought to....but whatever you choose ...the bow has to bend all the way through.
