Tepliks are curved wooden formers used to string or bend a strong bow - especially when it is new and being used for the first time. See below:

Gents,

I've noticed before that you called the thing "teplik" and thought you've just mistyped it. I think it's a turkish word and correct spelling is "tepelik". "Tepe" means "hill" and that's why it's named like this.

BTW, it's a beautiful pic.

Hi,

'Dojigae' It's the Korean language.

We use the 'dojigae', when string tradithonal horn bow.(but some experts use their own hands and legs)

Because of Korean horn bow's big curve form, it's difficult to string. (the beginer sometimes breaks the horn.)

So, we use the 'dojigae'

sosohi,
what is the size of the dojigae? Like, how long are they and how tall?

sosohi · Post by **sosohi** » Fri Oct 28, 2005 6:48 am

It's about 34cm's long, 4cm's high(central part), 3.5cm's wide(central part).

Basically, the size of the dojigae depends on your horn bow's size.

Several days ago, I bought one set of dojigae.

Sosohi,
They are good photographs for anyone who has to make a set of those tools.

For the fastidious

, Chinese tepeliks do not have 'any old cord' attached. According to Ju Yuan Hao, they have to have special, tapering cords about 1.5 metres long made of soft hemp string. He made me a pair, one of which is illustrated below.

Stephen, why is it important that they be tapered?
