Magyar 80#

Post by Tc » Mon Feb 09, 2015 8:14 pm

I have already shared my latest magyar on PA, now here as well:
140 cm tip to tip, 80# - 27?
Buffalo horn, ash core, horse sinew, shellac finish, sinew bandage. The ears have bone, the grip has horn cover.

Nice. How thick and wide are the limbs mid way in the bending parts?

Thanks, especially for you Adam. Without your book this bow wouldn't have been made...
12 mm and 42 mm. The core is a bit wider than horn.
