PJ, are the siyahs made with the mulberry I sent you? Will you post a close up of the syiahs?

clearly turkish. typical reverse handle, kassan and siyahs.

Should look great when sinewed and horn-bellied... with the extreme reflex... :D   :D   :)

Cool!  I'll contact David Knight or James Parker for some tempered boo for the belly and I have a bunch of shredded sinew coming from a trade. Looks like I will be able to play with the thumb rings you sent me.  d;^)
 Where do you get your hide glue?

I got the hide glue from a friend who was not using it.If you have a lot of short pieces of sinewyou could make some from the scraps,you will have to sneak out the mrs's crock pot,lol.
