Turkish Bow

:P yep that will make a bow
which wood is this ?

I don't like turkish bows :)
It seems nice,maybe the fades are too abrupt.

hello atarners,
The wood is hickory Uli.
A few weeks ago I cut down a mountain maple so the next wil be the reel thing.
The fades are to adrupt Alessi,?
What do you mean with that?
Thanks for looking to the pics.

Hallo Ingmar,
I am very glad that you inserted these pictures, thank you. I am sure that more experienced bowyers here will agree that it is nice start for the beginner (doesn't look as beginner project).

What i like very much (judging from pictures) is nice done kassan ridge and area.Also, it bends gracefully so i am sure you will finish with well balanced bow.Go on man!!!!!!

I think that Francesco is right about fades in the grip area, it should be less sharp angled, not too narrow - oh me and my English- (i think he wanted to say that, though bow core looks perfect for the first time project).

Ik wens u meer goede bogen te maken zoals deze schoonheid. Maak er een fijne weekend van.

Groetjes

Hello Zoran ,
Thank you for your kind words;you helped me many times,thanks.
Like you said, it s a beginners project and I have still much to learn,but I am enjoying myself
very much. That s important for me.
Yes like Francesco said ,the grip is not good,.
Perhaps when I lay my third sinewlayer a bit thicker at the grip,could that help?
Enjoy your weekend.
Regard s to the family.
Ps; I am going to Rammstein in march 2012.
Let s rock and making bows .

Welcome İngmar. Your bow looks very good for the first time.
Cem

Thanks Cem

The core is good,the kasan section is very well made.The width at the neck(most narrow part) of the grip is ok:the transition to the beginning of the limbs maybe has to be more smooth.Good work,anyway.
Francesco

Looks good! I hope mine looks as nice. I'm a first timer at this style of bow, so I'll defer to the others except to encourage you to look carefully at those fadeouts. They looked shallow to me too.

Thank you for your advice Francesco.
After my second layer of sinew, I saw that the most bend was near the grip,to close.
I want get the rounded shape i wanted.
Like you said,it has to be more smooth.
Today i will do my third layer,we will see what shape of bow i get.
Regards
Ingmar
