Man, I know a crab bow is supposed to bend in that one spot right off the handle, or is it my eyes playing tricks on me? How do you get it to bend there and not lower on the limb down towards the siyah, just slow and careful tillering? And of course, your bow is looking gorgeous. :)

That brace is crazy. It looks like the bows already maxed bent out on em. But we all know that's not true.

North Indian?  I had no idea they had horn bows like this.  I would have guessed it was Korean.

Looks fantastic by the way, very clean and precise.

I think this has gone on long enough, it must be cruel and unreasonable to keep us all on tender hooks like this. Some times you see some one else's work and think; I want to be that good. Other times you just think I WANT THAT :o
