« on: August 12, 2010, 05:00:57 am »
Hi folks!

length: 40"
drawweight: 10#@20"

Very Nice Bow!  Is it made out of one piece or is it two glued together into that shape and then tillered?   :)

On ATARN a couple years ago someone posted a French Bowyer's all rattan, Steppe style selfbow, with beautiful recurved siyahs, etc. that drew around 80# @28" if memory serves.    I for one would sure like to see a how-to on making something like that - or even this beautiful kid's bow.  Working with rattan has to be significantly different that working with wood.

Steilpassfänger, enlighten us please!!!

That's awesome!  I hope my son doesn't see this, or he'll be telling me the one I just made isn't nearly good enough.

We used to buy rattan from 1-800- 4 bamboo... I believe it was in NY... very reasonable , and they had bamboo for bow making too ...
