That is a wicked plains bow.   8) 8) 8)

"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

Geez ya cant get any more draw out of that stick  ;)?!  Like pappy said...I love the primitive look and nice bend.  What did ya seal it up with?

I seal my bows mostly with a homemade hardening oil in about eight coats


             Thanks everybody for the nice compliments!

I like how every part of your builds has a hand-made touch, from the earth pigments to your own brew of oil sealer.  You don't just plug a knot, you always seem to find some thoughtful way to turn stave imperfections into a feature to be admired.  Inspiring as always!

Thanks again, guys.

And yes that bow is not ment to be an authentic plains bow. I just did what came into my sense. I saw face tips on several historic bows, but this is no copy or so.
