simk:
Thanx DC! You will do that hornbow after you broke that record ;D looking forward!
Thanx willie!
Bownarra: I just groove because I think it's a simple and very effective way to strengthen any glueline and in that case because the glueing of the horns to me seems the most critical part of the build. I also groove critical wood laminations, because its so easy and gives a good feeling ;D Those 1/2 size mini hornbow are fun sure - do you shoot them in the living room? ;D
Martin: This design just happend to me when I started doing Moellegabets with reflexed levers in the 13/17 ratio in 2018. So I claim this specific design for myself. I did it as selfbows, sinewbacked and then hornbows. The ones I did for you are out of this series too. I later found out, that Yrtzis and Mongolians are similar indeed but I never really examined them and can't say what the differences may are...
Cheers
Digital Caveman:
That's an amazing design, and it looks great to! It reminds me of the composite longbow mentioned in the chapter Design and Performance Revisited in TTB 4. Now if only I could get some good horn ...
sleek:
As if I dont have enough to do, you have given me another project....
Digital Caveman:
By the way, is that American Bison or Water Buffalo Horn? Did you cut the strip out in a spiral or straight off the outside of the curve?
Thanks,
simk:
