Hi everyone, I have tried to make a Javanese horn bow construction. I am inspired by the bow that is in some museums. I slightly change the construction materials, with horn-wood-sinew. The result is 50 lb at 28 inch.

Yes, very well done. That bow looks very nice too. Your Turkish bow will become more stable the more you use it. Be very picky with it to start with, don't draw in unless everything is straight and centered.

Thanks very much Mike,
