Good Job!  Looks Cool.
Talking trees. What do trees have to talk about, hmm... except the consistency of squirrel droppings?

nice, you may want to round the edges on the back of the bow they look pretty square, rounding them helps to not lift splinters

Yeah, bow #2 is getting a lot of rounding treatment before it is done. I've still got to get it shaped, and then tillering begins.

Canvas, with an old arrow shaft stitched in for support. The strap is a cotton weaved thing. Was my first attempt at sewing with my sewing awl, and I put it together in about an hour. I was very happy with how it turned out, but know right where the next one would be improved.
