Hehe, the paint and scallops is on the side, neither back or belly ;)

Ahh... now it makes sense.  Very strange indeed... I like it!

Yes sir. You know I liked those scalloped bows, and this one is especially nice. Fantastic job.

like how you did the paint work on the scallops, just a touch of paint and class.
if your not dead you are getting older so get out and shoot some arrows.

Ok, now I'm confused ???  In one full draw picture, it appears the painted side is the back side, and in another it appears that it's the belly?  I'm assuming you tillered on the flat side??

Scallops are on the Side...or Sides...both Back and Belly are flat...but tillering is done as in most all other Bows...from the Belly side...I grew up building theses Bows.

Nice job recreating this from the Book...I like it.

Unique and nice at the same time. Can not help but wonder what thoughts were going through the head of the man who made the very first one. Can almost hear the other natives seeing it for the first time, " what in the mojo little hawk big bear kind of bow is that?" Then the others that exclaimed, "love it just gotta have it."
