Title: Another Magyar
Post by: Tc on October 01, 2014, 04:28:50 pm

As I see this board is full of magyar bows, which is good :D….Here is another one.I finished this one about a year ago, and it really gave me a hard time (stability and twist problems) but after the slow tillering and  correction procedures she has become my everyday (and favorite) bow. A bit out of standard (154 cm tip to tip, 143 ntn), 50#- 28”. Maple core, water buffalo horn, horse sinew. It has a really long draw…

Hey, I hate to be the one to tell you this.  But you got something on your face in that full draw picture.

Sorry, I have bad experience with shared photos, so I am a bit more careful now. Anyway, the emphasis is on the bow....

Thanks James.
Seasoning went well, I kept the bow under controll. I guess I made a mistake when I put the bow on tepeliks for the first time...The twist was close to the grip and was not simple to cure...

Man, that is nice! James is right, everywhere I go someone wants me in a movie. James gets offers for extra roles in Deliverance type movies, with simple lines, like"squeal boy" ;)

The bow looks great  :)
Just out of interest how thick is it at the sal/siyah transition.

Thanks for the kind words, guys.
I reduced the thickness of the siyah, now it is 25 mm at the thickest point.
