My wife got me a Dryad blank (cool huh!) for Christmas and I finished it this week. Ended up 65# @ 27" and I am extremely pleased with how it shoots. It really likes my heavy ramin wood arrows!

I thought it would be cool to inlay a stone point into the handle. I made a little window with a dremel tool and set a point into it. The point is one I made in my first real year of knapping (1993) and is made of local creek cobble chert. It sybolizes how far I have come and yet how I feel connected to both my past and the past of those others who hunted with wood bows and stone points in the past.

I plan to use the bow on a bear hunt in northern Saskatchewan this May and have the OK from the outfitter to use a stone point!
