Maybe I am weirdie but I dont like camera in my workshop, I always try to work on maximum focus and camera make me nervous. Good news so far, I tillered turkish bow and shoot few times. Bow is long - 134 cm ntn and overbulid , mass about 380 gram. I dont make big reflex before tillering, so directly after unstrung in sal section have string follow, few minuts and back to shape. This was very careful project, maybe it is nothing special but Im happy that my first turkish bow live

. Now I go on holliday but 2-3 weeks I show you leather cover on bow. Sorry for my english

Your English is very good! Better than some English people

I'm also not keen on camera's in the workshop when contration is needed. Your bow looks very nice indeed. Well done on your first one.

Hmm, I have doubt, I never learn english, know only from songs

. Looks that tatar bows survive too. I start to leather cover, put ultra thin 0,8 mm , every uneven on sinew are visible

. I must work on it in future .

few pictures http://www.fotosik.pl/u/robinn/zdjecie/1/album/1435933
My first turkish bow

On foto pull on 27 " , but easy to 30 inch, maybe more. Unstrung picture is after few days rest, directly after unstinging have little string folow. 7 inch BH. Maybe too much reflex in kasan eye but I dont change it , bow have no problems with twist limbs and have good energy storage. kasan 20 cm , sal 27 cm , tip 11 cm. 3 cm in middle of sal to 2,1 cm in kasan and handle .Next bows will be more agressive in sal area and shorter for sure

. Few days I show crimean tatar

crimean tatar ready. To strong for me I have problems with arm and cant pull full draw, but I think tiller is not bad. Over 60 lb at 28" , 144 ntn , 375 gram . BH 6 inch but i make little higher, bow have small problems with twist
