Reto,this is another bow,the decorations are similar to the other one.
Adam,were the decorations on original bows generally made with gold-leaf or using gold powder?

Gold powder. There is a mention in one of the books gold leaf was used as well for larger. flat surfaces.

Beautiful bow Alessi, I live the pattern in the horn, and the decorations are top notch. Have you ever done a hornbow with more reflex? The angled wedge in the nock is so well done, I admire your work.
Alessi, very, very nice bow...as all your bows.

Mr. Alessi:
Both Turkish bows posted recently look impressive in their lines, whether unstrung, strung, or fully drawn.
Have you done any measured shooting with either, or both?
