The Hiawatha, a close cousin of the Nanticoke, has a classic primitive design. It is well made and very durable. More natural in shape than the Nanticoke, the split shafts are hand scraped and well sanded following the natural flow of the grain. These are available in hickory or osage orange with a bone or antler tine, leather looped keeper strap, decorative feather crest, rubbed oil finish and simulated sinew lacing which holds the antler tine in place and provides added strength to the shaft.
