Making a composite bow. The style and construction is specific for #MingDynasty #China, but shares similarities with #Ottoman, Indo-Persian, and Korean bows too.



Iโ€™ll explain the steps: a thread
First, the Achillesโ€™ tendon is separated. This will be dried out, and later pounded into fibres that will sit on the back of the bow (the side that faces away from the archer). Some of the animalโ€™s skin is boiled and turned into glue that will be used to hold the wooden core.
The wooden core is shaped with 5 pieces all joined by V splices - a stiff handle, two flexible limbs, and two rigid tips. The V splice developed in the 10th or 11th C, and it allowed the angles between the handle, limbs, and tips to become much sharper.
