the core is made like a japanese yumi; the sidewood is black walnut

Frank,

I am impressed how you are able to effectively incorporate techniques employed by other cultures and create these highly functional works of art.

OldBow:
Hervorragend!
That's outstanding in German (I think). Looking forward to seeing this one for May Backed Bow of the Month.

medicinewheel:

hi guys!  -  many thanks for the compliments!!! yes it turned out to be a sweet-shooting hard-hitting bow that looks non-symmetrical (which it is) but balanced (which it is, also)

well gorden, these are really nice words but the credits in this case really must go to jaap koppedrayer from canada who adapted the japanese bowcore for both double-curved and straight-limbed bows. we got the know-how from him in a seminar i had organiced a year ago over here in germany. than again i take some of the compliment for myself since the bow looks sexy .... and i'm proud the words came from you  8)

frank

ps: yes don, hervorragend means outstanding  ;)
