The turkish bow2

<< < (2/2)

gorazd:
thanks,
Yes it should go over 30inch because ntn is 48inch .... quite long for turkish.

Doing first with turkish style I hesitated to make it shorter...
During first initial bending of the sals (using tepelinks)  there was heard some crack noises but now the bow is silent when drawing so I guess it will hold.

I missed some shaping lines when shaping the final width of the tips and tips get a bit thinner that I wanted .... arround 7mm width .... so for security I wrapped the tips with sinew.

About comment that it should bend more around handle - yes, I should make handle much thinner when shaping wood core.
And handle (black locust) splice is a bit to long so sals (cut from bamboo -  woodflooring)  near handle are a bit more rigid.

bassman:
Excellent
