Excellent looking bows...would really love to see some close up pics, especially of the Asian ones.  Full draw pics are also a requirement around here  ;D ::)

Great work, great craftmanship! I like everyone of them. The left one is an eyecatcher for me, but the rest attacks as well.

I really like the angular bow design. Seems to me that its a really sweet shooter. You did a great job executing all of the designs, thanks for sharing.

Those Asian wood & sinew bows are fantastic.  Do you have or can you recommend a resource on learning how to layout, construct and tiller this style of bow?  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Great looking bows!  Any chance of some more detils (and closer pictures) of the angular bows?  What do they shoot like?

angular bows shoot well like d/r wooden bows , but this construction long asian wood/sinew in my opinion is faster - long - about 140 cm  :). That bows are my idea , I dont have any books about such bows. Standart tillering like in normal wooden bows. I make shape with use hot steam , I have steaming machine. I like make intresting bows , now I make longbow - yew heartwood , classic D elb section , and sinew on back , this should be intresting , and also korean hornbow .
