4 Bhutanese Bows completed. Actually 4.5 as one broke just after lunchtime. No fault of the bowyer just a flaw in the material. It happens when you’re tillering bow. Fortunately i able to attack another bit of bamboo with my favourite old french axe and catch the student up so he could finish with a shooter. Bhutanesebow. .
