Glad to see talented bowyers from China. It's especially interesting to see Mr. Zhang Yuhua work, balancing a hornbow. Thanks for sharing.

Lots of good pictures. Those arrows look beautiful. I don't think I could make anything so tedious hehe. I have a bow almost exactly like the one the lady is drawing inside what looks to be a bedroom. I got it in Korea.
