Welcome! Those are nice. Did you knap them?

Yeah, although I'm more proud of the handles.  I'm kind of a beginner at everything (knapping, knife making)  I would like to build myself a bow but I just don't have the space in my apartment.  Maybe one day.  Thanks for the compliment.

Very nice knives Rick.  As far as making bows in your apartment, check out this fella:

I believe he is a fellow Texan, for what that's worth...
Welcome to the gang!

Built my first selfbow in my apartment while in college.  Just get a shop vac and a big tarp.  Safer than knapping indoors(although I have rigged up some fans and done a lot of indoor knapping as well)

Welcome

I think I might try the red oak bow from that website.  I think I might be able to manage that.  How do yall do arrows?
