Magyar 60#

This one is 140 cm ntn, 60#-28".
The grip is covered by bone, the ears by horn. I think I am going to stay with this shape, the limbs have pretty good reflex, still they are not overstressed due to almost zero grip reflex. And no string follow at all, I like it. No shooting yet, but it is very promising..

like it :D very nice !

I just watched your video and I saw that you were using some kind of rubber band to compress the sinew. Perhaps bicycle inner tube or some kind of cloth ?
Would you mind sharing some info on it? Do you compress the sinew in-between each layers or just right after the last one?

I personally never tried compressing the sinew but I think I should give it a go.

Thanks,

Thanks bobbyp.
It is a mixture of rubber and cloth, it has the advantage to let breath and dry the sinew layer below, however it gives enough pressure to get a solid and smooth sinew job. I do not use it when I build the edges of the bow, but I do for the first and second layer (I apply two sinew layers most of the time)

Right. So it's an elastic waistband.
Thanks for the info.
