Post by: dragonman on July 12, 2011, 04:58:38 pm: Very nice bow, excellent workmanship to get an all wood bow to bend like that.....well made
Title: Re: wood/sinew scyth
Post by: toomanyknots on July 12, 2011, 05:05:17 pm: Very nice. I love when people like you make a bow like this, because the people who wanna keep yakkin about how "any bow that even remotely reminds one of a horn bow is impossible without horn" are always so quite on threads like these. And that is because they don't know any real masters of working wood. (like yourself and 100s of other members of this forum). Gorgeous bow.

Title: Re: wood/sinew scyth
Post by: Gordon on July 12, 2011, 10:28:28 pm: Wow, I am amazed that you were able to get hickory to bend like that. Did you temper the belly?
Title: Re: wood/sinew scyth
Post by: Gus on July 12, 2011, 10:45:35 pm: WOW!

She's a Beauty!

Still trying to get my head around Sinew...

I also would love to see a Build Along some day if you are willing :)

May your Arrows Fly True, and your String Never Break.
