Got some good starts there Jere. Good luck on the builds!

[JNystrom]

Thanks.

I hope the manchu is a success. I have also a scythian core on the works, that is a new territory too.

Hey @ReneR here are some measurements for you. These are measured along the belly. But it gets you pretty accurate measure compared to a finnished bow along the back.
Longer one will be something like 133cm long, shorter 115-120cm. 18mm thick core and 36mm wide at this point.

thanks mate, you have been busy

[JNystrom]

No problem. Yeah, what else there is to do…

[JNystrom]

Had quite a job to groove all these. But it was fun. Some podcasts running and remember to sharpen the tools often.

Next phase is gluing the horn… Many layers if glue, then scrape the glue smooth and finally wrap with rope and tencik.
I really like the shape of the new turks.
