Great work, great craftmanship! I like everyone of them. The left one is an eyecatcher for me, but the rest attacks as well.
Regards Uwe

I really like the angular bow design. Seems to me that its a really sweet shooter. You did a great job executing all of the designs, thanks for sharing.

Those Asian wood & sinew bows are fantastic.  Do you have or can you recommend a resource on learning how to layout, construct and tiller this style of bow?  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

angular bows shoot well like d/r wooden bows , but this construction long asian wood/sinew in my opinion is faster - long - about 140 cm  :). That bows are my idea , I dont have any books about such bows. Standart tillering like in normal wooden bows. I make shape with use hot steam , I have steaming machine. I like make intresting bows , now I make longbow - yew heartwood , classic D elb section , and sinew on back , this should be intresting , and also korean hornbow .

Beautiful bows. That Angular one looks very Egyptian at full draw. Just like an Egyptian hieroglyph.

I agree with randman that egyptian one loosk alot like the hieroglyphs that depicts the pitati.
Sorry this article doesn't have a pic of the bows, just about warriors.
