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?
