the plains bow needs sinew still,but the tiller and overall balance looks good so far,it has regular cow horn,osage core,with a good deal of set back/reflex

The turkish looks excellent,Not to mention the plains style as well,may I ask what you used for the core and sahiyas,I just managed to find some mulberry for the sahiyas for the one i plan on making ,will be using maple for the core myself,would appericiate it if you could tell me where you obtained the waterbufallow horn and if it was expensive.
Thanks,P.J.

look on ebay for horns they have plenty,and their reasonable,the turk is rock maple core with mulberry siyahs, five pc core,deer back strap sinew only, with squid bladder glue,its some very strong ,super stuff,but it stinks pretty bad when you cook it.and unreasonably sticky

I bet you got a very strong bond with the squid bladder glue,The Koeran bow makers use sturgeon bladder for the glue in their hornbows,last time i tried to find sturgeon bladders in ohio people looked at me with some of the weiderst  expressions,there is a lack of chinese supermarkets in this area,are you planning to decorate and cober the back of the turkish bow?Keep us all updated with your progress.
