Hello from Turkey
« on: October 26, 2013, 11:21:08 am »
hi my name is Oz from Istanbul/Turkey. I've been interesting with archery/selfbows about 6 months. So i had a chance in this summer of August to find a stave. Well now i'm working on a hornbeam a little bit shaped up. Also i have a common juniper saving for later. thats all for me.  :)

Welcome to PA, Oz. Show pictures of your progress. Both woods you have are capable of becoming very good bows if designed and executed properly.

Oz, hos geldiniz!  Ben Amerikaliyim ama bes sene Ankarada kaldim. Turkiye'ye donmek istiyorum!  Donersem seninle bulusmam lazim.  Memnum oldum.

Just noticed this post. Welcome. I spent about a week in Izmir Turkey back in 1996 while in the Marines. I still remember all of the beautiful shotguns in the stores there. It was one of my favorite ports that we visited.

I believe Turkey is one of the birth places of archery. Very cool. Welcome aboard!

 If you have to pull the trigger, is it really archery?
