Good job. Will you be adding similar decoration?

Thank you, not entirely sure I'll decorate the back. I'm not one for fancy decorations but may, haven't decided either way.

Well Done!! I'd leave it plain. Does your area have a healthy supply of river cane?

Anyone interested in another closely related thread on making....arrows? There is a huge ethnographic amount of data on arrows (and types) made by different groups, although the differences between groups could take on a life of it's own.
Among the numerous peoples that lived in California before the obliteration of tribal groups in the mid-late 19th century, there were specific types of arrows made for birds, small game, larger game, with and without replaceable fore-shafts, blunt-rounded heads, wooden tips, stone tips, metal tips, etc etc.
So, next time you watch a 1950's western and some guy picks up an arrow and says it's a "Fug-a'wee" arrow, how did he know that's what it was...

In comparison to making arrows, making a bow is simple (and yet complex).... The Otis Mason book I linked to elsewhere has many types and examples of arrows (and bows). The pen & ink drawings are quite detailed.
