Title: New magyar
Post by: Tc on January 08, 2015, 08:05:14 am

Here is my brand-new magyar horn bow.
140 cm tip to tip, 80# - 27”
Buffalo horn, ash core, horse sinew, shellac finish, sinew bandage. The ears have bone, the grip has horn cover. So far my best magyar bow…

Thanks :)
medicinewheel: The max. draw length is over 30", 27" was the max. length at which we were able to measure it ( I don't have a hanging scale, we used a simple bathroom-scale, but I will measure it "officially" as well )

Holy cow... hats off to you guys that can make these types of bows. I find them simply amazing, and so beautifully curved when they're braced. I just don't have the patience to pull one of these off.
