Product details
Occasionally you can still discover them in museums today, the crossbow with a thick black or brown bow on which fibres stick out, so that many visitors tap wood at first. But beneath this inconspicuous
surface is a masterpiece of bow making, a composite of upright horn strips and several layers of animal tendon fibres embedded in glue. The crossbows documented in this volume form the last bridge to the past, since the knowledge of their manufacture has long since been lost and written sources provide little concrete information. "How did they do it?" The extended new edition presents for the first time the production of exact reconstructions of late medieval crossbows with horn composite bows by Andreas Bichler. Important steps in the work are presented in detail in words and pictures. From the selection.
