Probably 50 plus. 
I finally got her on the forms.  Took a lot of horn scraping.  All while I was trying to get it on the forms, the sinew in places would make a light snap noise.  It was breaking.  I interpreted it as too much stress in those spots.  I reduced the thickness of the sinew, also until I could get it locked down.  Part of the time involved is making the tools.  In Adam Karpowicz's book, he used rope on the forms.  I couldn't keep the knots tight enough.  Having to think of an alternative, I came up with the nut & bolt bridges.

23-5/8" long, TTT.  Had to add string bridges.  But, well...  it's strung.  A little uneven.  Gotta lighten her up a bit, anyways.  She's kinda stiff, as expected.  Frankly, I'm surprised it made it this far.
