NorthHeart:
Looking great for sure, im staying tuned in. (-P

JNystrom:
Here is one flight bow that i just finished. This is the same bow that was braced on the first page.
Eventually it came out pretty light, 11,5mm thick sals, weight 300 grams and about 80-90 pounds. There was some cracks on the horn which i had to patch with sinew.
As you can see the kasan eye is pretty straight here but the kasans and tips are lighter than the previous bows. Also the bending sections are not as close to the handle as i was wishing. This will be fixed in the bows coming next. Also a mistake was made when i heat up the sals too much and lost quite a lot of reflex.

I just opened a new bow that has all these problems fixed, its almost tillered ready and with a lot more reflex and thickness in the limbs. Its also shorter. Just shows what you can do when you learn more and more. :)
