The scalloped bows used by the Seneca People were very creative and beautiful. I wish that I knew what importance
these wave like patterns had to them.
What is apparent is that they have no advantage in bow performance, but
are extremely difficult to make and very lovely.
These bows could be made of various woods, but hickory was
the most documented. It should be
noted also that the Seneca were considered very fierce by neighboring
tribes.
In recreating these fine bows, I have come to appreciate
their rebel like appearance and how incredibly unique they are. They are available made to order at North Wood Traditional Archery
