Thank you all for the compliments,  this is why I want to be a part of this. Native American bows are both beautiful and simple.....sort of perfection 8) Even the most simple ones are exquisite and the more complicated are all magnificent. I'm glad to have a small part of showcasing bows and culture that is enviable.

Thanks again
rich

PS: Tipi....that is some fine bead work right there, just beautiful

Thanks Rich. I've been checking out the photos as they come trickling in. I like all of the ones I've seen, but I have to admit that I'm a bit partial to that green one with the scalloped edge. Those eastern bows are a bit out of my area of expertise, but I may have to make one some day.  Curtis

Hey fellas, thought I'd put up or shut up.  Here's an osage gull wing I finished up recently.  Its 46 ttt with a buffalo sinew string.  Pulls a heavy 55 lbs at 21 inches.  Its finished with Deer fat and bees wax with blue earth paint.  The stave was gifted to me from JW Halverson, thanks Jon.  Nothing too fancy about this one.  Pic is heavy, enjoy.

Oglala....that right there is pure poetry man, just superb sir. Someday I have to learn how to make a sinew string, very nice.

Thanks Tipi....you guys could make 'em in your sleep, they are pretty simple and straight forward.

Thank you Redhand

Thank you Slimbob, Drewster, and thats about enough out of you Mr. W
