I should have done this as a build-along! Anyway, here they are. I'm not sure if the kasan / tip transition is carved correctly. Any comments or suggestions before I sinew these? Thanks! :^)

They look absolutely beautiful! I'm not the expert either, but if you asked me, I would make the grip more pointed at the back, to make space for more sinew there, and I think the kasan/tip-transition is not completely authentic. I think the transition should be more gradual. If you wanted to change this now, you could probably build it up with some sinew scraps.

Thanks for the encouragement, all :^)
Kviljo, I thought so too. I'll build those transitions up a bit as you suggested.

Thx Vonegelut. They're both three-piece. The smaller one is 42" ntn, and the larger one is 47" ntn.
