Making Tepeliks

1 posts2013live thread

I have got some eastern maple material for making tepeliks and the rope-clamp-claw thing and i would like some advice before i get started. Does anyone have schematics for these items? Success or failure stories? Advice?

The material i bought is 36" long with about 4" available for the tepeliks...i'm going to rip an inch off one edge for making the rope-clamp-claw.

I understand the curve of the tepelik should be equal in length to the sal of the bow, plus a few inches, but is it better to create a deep curve or a shallow curve?

thanks
