hello all. here is a korean stlye horn bow, 49#@31" - 48"tip to tip,bamboo core,mulberry siyahs,oak riser,cork handle overlay,birchbark cover,leather tip covers.. it was a miricale that i finished this bow out,, during the summer,while the bow was seasoning museum beetles attacked the horn belly, so i had to scrape past all the holes and tunnels they had made, the bow should have been around 60 to 65#,, win some- loose some,, but still it came out fine,,, enjoy...... jp

It's beautiful! I like it even better than the egyptian one!

How did you do the leather tip covers?

Congratulations,Robustus !

Your bow is absolutely equal to my korean hwarang bow,even the tilller
at full draw is identic.The siyahs are obviously working,just that much they are supposed to be.How did you manage that,did you boile or steambend
them and what size are they? A stunning work!
