Nice bow!
Did the Native Americans think about all this that much or just do it?

Very nice looking bow.   Love the skins.  How did you trim them
 around  the handle?  With a thin strip crosswise?

Nice work Chris, looks like you got a sweet shooter there. Good specs for that skinny bow and nice finish work as well.
I ain't broke but I'm badly bent.

Very nice Sir!  The bend in that puppy has fast written all over it.  Love the skins as well.

Interesting piece of wood.  52# with that slender profile, nice bend.  I like the minimalist handle treatment and the skins.  Always consistent, Chris.

Very nice bow buddy! Would like to get my hands on some of that ocean spray. Pretty wood. Well done sir! Patrick
