Enjoy

Buzz, thank you for this link. Folks, I'll try to make something similar but without embroidery... It's very interesting to me...Maybe first try will be not the best, but next time...or third..will be good enough :) Jeff, quiver of this kind is good enough as target/3D hip quiver...Can't remember th...

Hi all,
searching ideas for my horsebow quiver project, I have found this pics in a virual Moscow Kreml(in) museum.
I think it will be interesting for folks who love horsebows and for all who love beauty

Any back tendons work..Some better than others..
The general rule is that more moving - better tendons...
And guys..you live in kangaroo country...it semms to me that you must give them some chance....

G'day folks,
some time ago I have made side quiver from plastic pipe (polypropylene?) 110 mm - kind of "bushmaster" , with thin layer of foam inside and camo cloth outside
Jeff, you can use foam spacers inside the tube to prevent feather damage.

nice gallows, DWD

Jeff, you are right - after applying clear finish double side sanded glass MUST be clear if it hasn't another non-glass fibers. I use this kind of glass exclusively - cause I can't buy archery laminate here and have bought a roll of glass laminate from ski factory (I believe it's all the same - unid...

Mububban, they are made from knife blanks, hardened to about 58-59 HRC Damascus heads - about a day for all + next day hardening and some finishing, "knapped" head -about 2 days, this "knapped" look is very time consuming and nervous - one mistake when you grind it and you can st...

Thanks, Stace
but they are fully functional, one CAN use them when it needed:)

Cheers,
Max

And another one. Steelknapped

And you can reglue dry spots with hot iron. Or make the whole process "dry" - it's old veneering trick.

Hi, Lou!
Your next step will be addition of small and big game simulation module?
Congrats! How about beta testing?

Well done, Grahame!
Some cyanoacrylates can be destroyed with heat, heatgun works well

Congratulations, Lou!

I have a question too. Here in Russia one Swedish(!) company sells Australian timber Jarra. Is it suitable for bowmaking, self- or laminated? And what drawbacks it has if "yes" (Any material has it's "pros" and "cons"
Thanks for advance

Jeff, I'll try to use it on a game in August-September (don't talk loudly! bowhunting is prohibited here ) or trade them for something I need

Don't know yet. Finished yesterday evening. But they are heavy enough (see previous thread Russian Made Arrowheads here in the Cutting Edge)

Thanks for your responses guys, new pics are here http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i294/WildRussian/Broadheads/ And some of them http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i294/WildRussian/Broadheads/ResizeofP42000111089.jpg http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i294/WildRussian/Broadheads/ResizeofP42000261089....

Finished today. Sorry for pic quality, I'm new to digital cam; tomorrow I'll try to make photos in a daylight.[/img]

Lou, do you remember the article in Russian about bamboo shaving for fly rods? ? Maybe this device helps you? Good luck anyway!

GrahameA, all species will make the job, just back it. Moisture protection is must!

no i'm serious
some years go we had made detachable arras. Folks, solid things are better but the process is simple - two matched tubes glued into shaft

needles and pins.. and axe

Steve, maybe somebody could send a link to this thread to Mr. Adcock, and he 'll send us a bow? To test?

This raises the question about the genuine benefits of Adcock's design whose x-section is similar to my mate's. Maybe most of it really IS in the materials, especially carbon fibre. What do others think? Dennis La Varenne I think it's the same for the game (poetry :)) selfbow or hi-tec when arrow m...

Dennis, as I understand, Adcock design represent a very simple idea - bended (curved) thing is more stiff than flat. So you can slightly bend the limb in perpendicular direction and have the same bow weight with decreased mass of the limb. Next, you can stiffen outer limbs and tips this way with mas...

Yeoman, this kind of installation of heads (with) tangs was common not only in Eastern Asia, but to the East of modern western Russian border. Ferrule heads were found near the border with Germans, vikings (Baltic sea) etc - in the Western area. All other territories - up to Ural and Siberia and to ...

Sorry,
weights are 15, 13 and 17 grams respectively
And sorry for poor quality of the pic. I'll try to make it better

Hi All, Sorry for delay with answer folks. Prices vary from 120 to 290 USD. Most important thing here are workmanship and blade material. To know price you must divide price in roubles ( digits in right part of the page ) by 27.7 - it will be price in USD. Unfortunately, I don't know conversion rate...
