Nice bow that you made there. Looks as though it would be light in the hand.

No "splice" on the siyahs - no W splice or V splice - just a surface glue job.  I thought about wrapping the joint with artificial or real sinew but decided to see how well it works without - I've seen other bows done the same way using bamboo slat for the body and wooden siyahs surface glued.

The How-To is now in place.  Questions?  Drop me a note.

Great job, Ken.  I love the fact that you made it of readily available materials and yet it functions as well as the complicated Asian designs.  Excellent craftsmanship and innovation.  Thanks.

The How-to has been posted for a couple days, okiecountryboy!

Thanks Dan, I do what I can with what I got.  I do have got some better (or at least different) woods coming for the Mark II version.  Somebody asked why I didn't sinew it; and I told them;  1) I just didn't want to mess with icky animal bits, and 2) the sinew would get in the way of looking at the beautiful wood.
