Probably 50 plus.
I finally got her on the forms. Took a lot of horn scraping. All while I was trying to get it on the forms, the sinew in places would make a light snap noise. It was breaking. I interpreted it as too much stress in those spots. I reduced the thickness of the sinew, also until I could get it locked down. Part of the time involved is making the tools. In Adam Karpowicz's book, he used rope on the forms. I couldn't keep the knots tight enough. Having to think of an alternative, I came up with the nut & bolt bridges.

23-5/8" long, TTT. Had to add string bridges. But, well... it's strung. A little uneven. Gotta lighten her up a bit, anyways. She's kinda stiff, as expected. Frankly, I'm surprised it made it this far.
