Four boys. This would have been a lot easier if they would have gone to bed on time. Too many late night homework assignments meant I did most of the work on these between 11pm and 1am. I had fun doing it though. The feathers were from a trade of some elk leg skins with Jojo. Tips are ground brass nuts (see the topic below) and the shafts are bamboo garden stakes. Wrapped with artificial sinew.

Jeff, awesome work. You are quite the craftsman. I love home made gifts.

thank you for the kind words. At least one of them (the one with the new bow, too) listed this and his other bow stuff as his best Christmas gift. The others are too enamored with the second-hand PS3 we got them. Oh well. Like Joe, I really enjoyed making as many Christmas gifts as I could this year. I also made two flint-knapped heart necklaces for the wife. the hand-crafted stuff feels more genuine to me than something I pick up at wallyworld.
