korean composite
« on: November 18, 2011, 08:50:32 pm »
hello all. here is a korean stlye horn bow, 49#@31" -  48"tip to tip,bamboo core,mulberry siyahs,oak riser,cork handle overlay,birchbark cover,leather tip covers.. it was a miricale that i finished this bow out,, during the summer,while the bow was seasoning museum beetles attacked the horn belly, so i had to scrape past all the holes and tunnels they had made, the bow should have been around 60 to 65#,, win some- loose some,, but still it came out fine,,, enjoy...... jp

Gosh, Mr. Parker, sorry to hear that bow came in underweight.  On the bright side, I shoot that draw weight.  I'll send you the address to mail it to in a PM.  By the way, can I get my beetles back now, too or did you kill 'em all?


 >:D

Beautiful and functional yet again, robustus!  Makes me wanna get a jade thumbring and a horse just looking at it!  Ok, forget the hayburner, but that bow in a tight treestand or a small pop-up blind would be the perfect set-up.  Gorgeous, just gorgeous.

thanks guys,        sa, the siyahs are v spliced into the core then rasped and sanded in, to blend into the limb.
