Turkish Bow from Turk

Yes, the first true Ottoman bow made in Turkey in modern times. Excellent work Cem.

Others, please note the degree of reflex given to the bows for the seasoning process. This is the way it should be done.

I support what Adam days here, folks. This is the first time in around a century that a Turkish bowyer in Turkey has set about making bows in the traditional way.

Cem has done a fantastic job.

Congratulations!

I am not sure when Necmettin Okyay stopped making bows, but I feel it was less than a century ago.

That does not detract from the great news of a revival of bow making.

Okyay probably did not make bows, only restored the old ones.
