Hi,

I recommend this film to you all.(Korean language only)
This film is a good guide to the study of Korean horn bow making too.

Thanks sosohi,

I know this prozess, i have seen it on an another video.
How long goes the most bending part ?
I think between near the handle and beginning of the splice.
Or to the end of the splice ?
Is the area between the end of splice and nock stiff, or should it be flexible also a little bit ?

Hi, wolfhorn123

Sorry, I can't give you sufficient informations. :oops:

I'm an archer. And I wish to make my own hornbow someday.
But, In fact, I don't dare to make the hornbow. I think making the bow is the artian's share. (We respect them as a Human Cultural Assets)

So, I admire you for your defiant attitude.

There are several bowyer here in Korea, and I think, detailed facts are thier trade secrets.

Nevertheless, you want to make 'Korean style' hornbow, I suggest you put the used one in hot water(more 1 day). You can get the pure content of the bow.(In that case, you' better wear a mask. :wink: it smells bad)
