Hello from Croatia
FilipT:
Hi, my name is Filip. I am a young amateur bowyer from Croatia. I hang out mostly at Paleo Planet forum but I also wanted to register here because of vast information this forum provides.
Cheers,
Filip
JW_Halverson:
Welcome, Filip!
Pat B:
Welcome to PA, Filip. Got any of your cool Croatian bows to show us. Pull up a chair and join in.
FilipT:
I am currently working on a hazel longbow project, it is supposed to be 75 - 80# at 32" and my entry into warbows. Everything is ready but my tiller needs better reinforcing, so I am working on double pulley wall tiller setup, then I'll start with tillering.
Yesterday, unfortunately, my black locust pyramid character bow broke at nearly 28" on tiller tree. I was furious because tiller was really good, but fault lies in mine choice of wood. Even though BL is rot resistant its not rot proof as there are some discoloration marks on back of bow and on one of those it broke :(
JW_Halverson:
Oh well, it happens. You clean up the mess and find another piece of wood!
I cannot wait to see photos of some of your work.
