I asked on here a few times, I deliberated a lot, I read even more, I asked a few more questions, and today it arrived all the way from Hungary, a brand new 42lb draw weight Mongolian. A nice finish, it lies downstairs, strung and ready to go, but the darkness has descended, my target for the day has vanished into the ether and I am bereft of my home made thumb ring, as it broke yesterday. A word of warning for the home builders, do not use bone for thumb rings, use coconut shells or horn if you can find them...... for the bone version, I used a scapula from a pig, it gives a good offset angle for the string, but, is porous in the extreme.... undaunted i will make a few more from various materials until I have cracked it. A version made out of Aluminium is in the piprline, but I need a perfect size and shape first..... hey ho, roll on tomorrow bright and early.....
