that looks nice turtle! would that by chance be an art young style side quiver as described in traditional bowhunter a couple months ago? well i got the knife almost finished i just need to finish sanding the handle and put a finish on it and of course the sheath, i think on the sheath i'm gonna do a snakes skin inlay in the shape of an arrowhead or something but i can't decide between rat snake, prarie rattler or timber rattler what would you choose?

the knife is finished i may put another coat or 2 of finish on it but i don't think it is needed. it's about 7 3/4" long with osage and cocobolo handle and pins made of antler, now i need to make the sheath. i may do a bit af file work on the spine later

This is getting good! 

Here are the bows in the works at the moment.  I will see how each turns out and see what fits the recipients specs best. 

Ocean spray, yew, rawhide backed osage, and sinew backed yew. 

"The bow is the old first lyre,
the mono chord, the initial rune of fine art
The humanities grew out from archery as a flower from a seed
No sooner did the soft, sweet note of the bow-string charm the ear of genius than music was born, and from music came poetry and painting and..." Maurice Thompso
