Nice work. Perfect Camouflage - looks like a small birch tree ;)


Good luck with the building of your puuko.
Do you think about a sheath of bark, also?

A couple final photos of the birch bark after cleaning up the edges and 3 coats tru oil.  Bow gained 20 grams in weight and has held up to shooting couple dozen arrows without damage to the bark.
