Wow I really love that ebony. So freaking black. Looks like something you'd recover off a space ship ... the ebony that is. Pretty sure aliens use laser guns not bows.

Thanks Ben.

These pcs do have a slight brown color to them..but it's really hard to see it in the pics.

In person, you'd think it was black from a few feet away, but in decent light you can see the brown at arms length.

Congrats on your bow    :thumbsup:   Tiller looks great!
It's hard to make a wooden bow which isn't beautiful, even if it's ugly.

Maybe on their planet there isn't any elastic materials..just doesn't exist.

So all their technology focuses on shielding that neutralizes energy weapons and electrically deflects metals..ie bullets.

Then the members of tradgang band together in defense of the world. Armed with wood bows and arrows tipped with stone.

Imagine the looks on those alien faces when one of us dumb monkeys shoots through the shield and takes one out using a couple sticks and a rock..lol

anyway..lol..I guess I slept well last night..   :knothead:
