This is a bit different than the furniture work that many post. This bow started life as a hickory tree in the woods behind my old house. The tools to turn it from a tree to a bow were an old council tool Hudson bay axe to fell the tree, a gransfors bruks hatchet to rough out the stave, some combination of my draw knives and rasps to shape it, a card scraper to finish it, and a chainsaw file to cut the knocks.

Will post a full draw pic once my wife gets home and can take one for me.
It came in lighter than I wanted at about 40lbs so is only a short range deer killer.
