Bill/OregonThe width and heat-bent shape echo other West Coast bows. It is beautifully designed and crafted, that's for sure! Thanks for sharing, Kathi.

What's traditional hunting??
Rocks, sticks??
Firearms have been used for hundreds of years.

Bill/OregonBoomie, I agree. I'd love to have a duplicate of that bow strung with dogbane or milkweed cordage and shoot obsidian-tipped arrows of red osier dogwood with it.
Nothing quite like "experimental archaeology."
