Here are some pics and details from my flightbow.
I will apply sinew soon, and try to brace it about christmas time, or so.

On the ears and on the belly from the grip, it is "Snakewood"
Only for decoration.

I use an Router with an "milling cutter"

You can get this milling cutter on this link:

I use a "Router" and build an Table where the Router is applied from the bottom.

Beautiful bow and beautiful grooving! What is the drawlength that you expect?

My 2nd turkish bow(the 1st is damaged when strung.) is 110 n-to-n and 1.4cm at sal. I tied it to the tepliks but have no way to bend it for stringing----too hard the bow is.
Now the stone-like bow is bent from a C shepe to a straight line.

I think the drawweight would be between 55 and 70 Pounds.
I don?t know.
