Do crane feathers work for fletching?

Don't know about FL but in AL they are federally protected the same as Owls, Hawks, Buzzards, and Eagles.  So possession of the feathers is illegal.  But, they DO look as if they would make pretty fletchings.  :)

Turtle, it is 1 3/8" at the handle and starts to reduce down to the 1/4" nocks at the curve.

 If you have to pull the trigger, is it really archery?

Beautiful bow and amazing pictures!  I swear only the federally listed animals walk right up to you when you are at full draw!

the mono chord, the initial rune of fine art
The humanities grew out from archery as a flower from a seed
No sooner did the soft, sweet note of the bow-string charm the ear of genius than music was born, and from music came poetry and painting and..." Maurice Thompso

Eddie that came out awesome! You did that yew really well and nailed the tiller. Glad to see a southern style yew! Love the tips and overall theme. Should be a great brush bow for you. Congratulations!

Hedge, CMB, Thanks. hedge, ain't that the truth.

 Keenan, It tossed me a few curves, but I tamed it. This bad place in the upper curve really bothered me.

That really turned out beautifully Eddie.  I like the reinforced recurves and all the components just come together beautifully.  It may be my favorite of yours so far I've seen.  Great one, my friend.

P.s. Nice pictures.

That's a nice piece of Florida Yew.  Looks like a sweet shooter.
