The inspiration for my art comes from my great, great, grandmother who was Choctaw. Bow and Arrow wood is cut during the winter when the sap is down and goes through a curing process where it is hung up to dry. Bow woods I typically used are Ash, Black Locust, Black Cherry, Osage Orange, White Oak and Hickory.
Arrow wood is dogwood, yaupon holly, witch hazel and willow.
Arrow points made of noviculite and obsidian are chipped with a moose and deer antler. Feathers used are domesticated turkey, guinea hen and rooster. Some bows and arrows displayed are intended for wall decoration. Other bows and arrows are functional. All functional bows have a 1-year guarantee for materials and workmanship and have been preserved with linseed oil.
