Another fine looking bow James. I came across an article "turk bow without horn" and tried my hand at it. Sinew backed osage - I was dissapointed. It shot really slow and sluggish right before it collapsed ;D.

I never would have believed such a design was possible with only the materials you employed. Congratulations!

Sweet bow. I cant believe you can do that with bamboo and it still looks so good unstrung. If I tried that it would have massive set. :) Great work .

Very, very nice Robustus!  I really like those asiatic bows and it's great to see an all wood version of it.

Very cool bow!  I've thought about trying one of those, but I haven't had the nerve to yet.  Great job!
