Main Discussion Area > Horn Bows
who's working on composite horn bows?
Parnell:
Hmm, maybe this will make me get off my butt with my project. I should start a thread...
james parker:
bubby,mike is correct, you could have so much more of a bow if you induce more reflex into the limbs.heating the limbs and pulling the tip inward ,then letting season in that position will add greatly to thespeed
parnell are you sitting on your hands, would love to see what you have got going
pekane, I have made several of the Korean style,, those have gave me the most gratification to build, I had 4 fail, before the first success,, I tried alternative materials for the core,, just wont work,, at least for me,, the tried and true bamboo core is best suited for the Korean bow,, cant fix something that aint broke,,belive me I have tried. but that's what we are here for ,,to learn... im no expert, but i do have substantial experience,at lots of failures when it comes to the horn bows,,it has come at a great cost$$.
so I think you should do what makes you happy ,because that what we are all doing
james parker:
all most forgot! hey mike how bout hurrying up and post those bows,, im eager to se them
bubby:
Alright, quit twisting my arm already, I'll do like James said and get some more reflex in this baby
Parnell:
I have been sitting on my hands, James. Got a new workshop going in this upcoming week. That would be a very cool project to pick back up in there.
