finno ugric style(full draw added)
« on: December 24, 2013, 11:57:14 pm »
it has been a while since i posted anything(or been on here regularly) life has been pretty hectic the last 2 years and it interfering with my bow making  ;)..... but anyway........this is my version of a finnic bow based off some pics i found, most have siyahs attached but some are heat bent in so that is the route i took. it is about 45 lbs at 26'' and shoots straight , i put on a sinew backing and snake skins that i got from cipriano(gracias amigo) . this bow has been in the works for a while but finally finished it a few months ago, i have  a few more in the works hopefully life will slow down so i can work on them  :) i'll try to get a full draw as soon as i can get someone to take the pic.

That's a very nice looking bow.  Those style of tips make me nervous though.

See everyone seems to say those nocks make them nervous but I haven't had any issue and I shoot a lot. I see no problem with those nocks. I may change my mind when something blows up on me but for now they're ok  ;D

Looks beautiful, but like it's been said there's no reason not be worry about those knocks. I could see them wish sinew wrap to hold the rings together since there's still a good bit of un-violated wood, but as is nothing but the early wood is keeping the rings together.

Might as well make them short, save some wood to keep warm.

Never seen tips like that...is that bow asymmetrical? Nice work and would love to see it hauled back...

Those style of tips make me nervous though.

But I have to say they look sweet. Though I might glue them up the other way around?

Very nice bow for sure. What about it is specifically finno ugric? The skins look utterly american...  ;)

Great looking bow!! I like those knocks. I've made one bow with similar tips, never had a problem with that bow, but they did make me a little nervous as well.

Very nice but I don't think those nocks would survive the misfortune of a dry fire
