my last horn/sinew bow not for BOM
« on: February 03, 2010, 08:54:39 am »
My last creation. Buffalo horn , maple core , elm static recurve , sinew. 127 cm about 43 lb arrow speed over 170 fps. Not bad by this draw weigth. All bow in black leather , brass near handle. Now I work on extremly short ( under 100 cm ) turkish flight bows , I hope about 2 months I will show you something interesting ;)

Sweet bow. Some day I am gonna have to break down and try something like that.

Love the finish, especially the brass at the fades.

nice bow!  I would love to build one of those but I know I don't have the patience with all the waiting you have to do.  I would end up trying to shoot it too early or something I'm sure... That thing is beautiful...  :)  -josh

Howdy Henry,

Wow!!  Just beautiful!!

While building your next creation, perhaps you could take a lot of pictures and use them by putting together a Build-Along.  I am sure there would be a lot of people here who would be very interested in the details that go into the construction of such a fine, unique bow / art work.

I am sure that there are a lot of people here who would not (and could not) try to make one of those.  But, I am sure we would like to see how you make them.

Thank you very much for sharing this fantastic bow with us,
Canoe
