Jj Weißnicht's 2015/2016 Korean warbow/"Crepy bow" reproduction

(1/2) > >>

loon:
I wasn't aware of this until recently. This style should be somewhat easier than the target style..

The hornbowyer Jj Weißnicht did this reproduction of that bow, 60#@32". He estimated the original bow's draw weight at around 100#.

Interesting that it seems to have an actual kasan of sorts, but no kasan eye reflex..

stuckinthemud:
That's a lovely bow.  I'm guessing a bamboo core with mulberry sijahs? The diagram is a little confusing to my very inexperienced eyes; any more construction details?

BowEd:
Interesting loon.Great pictures and a wonderful looking bow.Talk about a short working area of limb.Lookng at full draw I mean.I've read tillering those with the set back reflex near the handle like that are the devil to get stable and tiller.Sort of twitchy so to speak.Depending too I guess as to how thick the horn is too.
I would imagine bamboo and some kind of wood for sijahs.Mulberry seems logical.

Urufu_Shinjiro:
Cool, it's similar to the Indian crab bows...

Redhand:
Some great looking bows
