Youngbowyer, we will probably be doing this at least once every year. It might be to hard to do it more then that do to allowing build time plus time to receive and post pics.

Good grief, it looks like we have enough late comers to do a second drawing!  Of course, some of you are so fast you could get in on that exchange too.  Not me, I'm in for one and done!

Here's the bow case I made for the Mollegabet.....it's tanned buffalo hide, double hand stitched and turned inside out (skin side in and hair side out with the stitching inside. It does not have a bandolier as the vikings did not carry them on their backs so I tried to make this as a protection thing. The extra straps are for securing the case if it was on board as ship, or tied to a horse etc. The last pic is the art. sinew that I used to double stitch the thing.

Guess it's about ready to go out.....wanted to see what all of ya think. Thanks for lookin

Seems a shame to cover such a nice bow but you did it proud. Very nice indeed.
