Yeah they are sweet and do look like bears. Is it a replica(ish) of the kodak hunter (the 52" one they made ... I think that was the Kodak hunter.

Anyway, very nice work!

Thank you Wolftrail. I made bows like HH style,R/D longbows and Asian style bows by using guide from the internet. These bows on the photos above are the only bows which were made by myself having broken Bear Kodiak Magnum as sample on my hand  made in Gainesville with zebrawood limbs.
