thanks fellows . i think i like the korean bow as much as the turkish bows,, shoots really good,and flat.. tillering one of these is a little more tricky than some of the others,,trying to keep the upper part of the limb from over working can give you a few problems,, this one came out better than the last one i built,,, gaur the beetles were here from some feathers someone gave me , so they moved from the feathers to a couple of my horn bows , luckly i examined the bow when i did , or they might have eaten all the way through the horn, it would have been a total loss.. matt.s , the contaptions you see are limb formers , used to initially to shape the limbs during the shaping of the bow limbs and to also string the bow and maintain the shape .. the koreans call them(dogigae) in turkish bow building they are called tepeliks.
