Lukasz:

Excellent.  I have watched your video several times, and share many of the questions and complements others have posted.  Your bows show a very high level of skill.  I can see how you shaped/bent the handle area from your photo showing your bench.  When you say you then after steaming you make and shape the deflexive sections--do you steam again and do both limbs/curves at the same time--and after you taper the belly section? The degree of taper must be critical for your curves--almost like a revers tiller?  There are many curves for a single piece of wood and I am curious as to the steps.  I find this bow so remarkable I'm probably not even asking the right questions.......

Beautiful work, and very nice to see shooting---I think I share with others--you really have me rethinking ......

Thanks guys. This bows are not very hard to make, horn composite in this style is harder. I want to make video with bulidalong this bow and few more intresting for example angular. Tillering angular bow is for me not easy
