Hello Scemdonmez,this is a very nice (and probably strong)bow.The horn and wood grooves are really well matched.It seems that bash are not spliced to the kasan:how did you bend them?

Alessi,

Thank you. Yes , baş are not spliced .I bend it in hot water.Wood is waiting for 10 day in warm water because I use dry maple(2 cm thick). I use a form to bend it. Then I boiled the wood in hot water about one hour and bend it.

Thanks for posting the photos. I am going to try and make my first horn bow and any information at all is very useful.

Thanks John
