Egyptian composite build a-long

D. Tiller:
I don't know about that. Depends on which snail you put your money on!  ;D

welch2:
'tis a pretty slow process , fer sure . I'm havin' fun though.

The second layer of sinew has been on for two days now ,and I have tightened the rope twice .Looks like if I add any more reflex , I'll have to loose the clamps .The angle is getting pretty steep .



Does anybody think ,I should add the center horn spacer now ? And try to string it , or should I go for more reflex first ?

D. Tiller:
I will not give advice on this! I am way out of my league with these style bows. But, hey, if you can get away with more reflex I always say go for it!  ;D

welch2:
The bow is pretty much holding the reflex in the last picture .It has ten white tail deer leg tendons worth of sinew on it now ,and the back is flat still . I think I'll add some more sinew ,in order to build up a central ridge ,and give the bow the oval shape it should have .

Pat B:
Hey Ralph, Are you gonna be able to pull this bow when you are done. :o ::)  She's looking good so far.      Pat
