Jack, I totally agree with you. I will make adjustments next time. Francesco, it's too late. I put the first layer of sinews

Pazuzu - what is the approximate thickness of your horn core and side pieces? Very nice work. I hope to do an all-wood Scythian.

bow is seasoning aprox six months. I made a couple of shots to 24 inches draw lenght. behaves quite stable. needs a little heat adjustments and my question is: now have to make or after spiral wrap with sinew? also: what draw length would you recommend? bow is 103 cm. - stringing, 128 cm. - belly, 13 cm. - brace.

thanks

Very nice work. It may be better to make the adjustments before wrapping with sinew, since the wrapping stabilizes the bow's shape somewhat. But only if the adjustments are not too drastic.

Thank you all!
Adam, first layer sinews wrapping is completely dryed, and then put the second? or both are consistently?

I put the second layer after the first one dried and made sure the wraps were crossing.
