Here is a complete set made for seabass. He furnished the brain tanned / smoked buckskin, and a cased coyote (for the face)
Bow is a self backed ash scalloped Western Ojibwe bow, with a mild double curve design common to the western Natives. It's 50" and draws 26" at 50#. The cases consist of a bow case, arrow case, utility bag, and there is an awl case sewed from the left side cheek of the coyote. There is also a retaining loop on the right side end of the bandolier for holding a tomahawk. There is also an Eastern style two fletch woodland arrow, and a spruce pitch glue stick included. The bow carries clan signs for the Bear clan and the grip wrap has Bear hair incorporated along with the clan signs. These are on a braintanned piece of cariboo skin which is tied on the center of the bow in the style of the Western Cree / Western Annishinabe.
Hope ya like "em
