Korean horn bow dimentions
Jakesnyder:
Now at the tip of the syhias where the string knock will be, would 3/16" thick and 3/4" wide be ok for them? I've never seen dimensions of any kind of horn bow so I'm kind of running blind with dimensions. Im just kind of need a starting point.
DC:
The tips on mine are just under 1/2" wide and 3/4" thick. I got that dimension from Adams book (10 x 17mm at the nock)
Jakesnyder:
I'm going to take a shot in the dark but I'm guessing this boo is not any good. Can you see the bug damage? Am I correct?
bownarra:
Yes I can see it and unless you are 100% certain it won't be in the finished bow best to throw them away.
£/4 wide for the tips is ok as you will be narrowing them later.
Jakesnyder:
Ok so I got some sugar maple that might make a good core. The only issue is it's not 100 percent seasoned yet. It's been drying inside for about a month. Since these take so long to make does it need to be totally seasoned to start working with it?
