That's a very nice board....its reminiscent of Bear Paw boards, which as far as I know are not available in the U.S.

I'm gonna get a board and build strings here soon. Dave has a nice board for a great price so I'm gonna be getting one of those. I went to great lengths trying to get a Bear Paw, but once I understood the board designs, I realized that for myself and my needs, a good built simple board is all I'd need. I certainly do like your Croatian board... its VERY nice. 8-)

I have a bear paw board. They are available from Kustom king archery. I will say its a decent board and does it's job just fine. I am very fond of bear paw (love the slick stick and black glove) products but thought the fit and finish could have been better. Also the bear paw board does a 50" string as the shortest length. I still use it alot, though I have added some of my own hacks to it! I still havent built myself a board, but there is a member on this site that has my very first board, which is the one I took all the pictures with.

Dave...Ive seen the ones at custom king but didn't read or know they were Bear Paw. That board isn't even close to the Bear Paw board im talking about thats unavailable here in the U.S. I've called and talked to Kustom King about ordering it and they said they cannot get it because of some import problems associated with it.

Here is the board I believe your talking about..
