DIY Decoration for JZW Manchu Bow - Part 1.

Full disclaimer
I am not a traditional craftsman nor do I claim this is the 'authentic method' of bow decoration. It's simply a DIY video that shares what I think have worked for me so far. The first part documents the process of attaching, carving & smoothing out foam on the back of the limb to imitate the 'round back' appearance of horn bows, and the second part will document the process of pasting & painting the birch bark, as well as other fine details.

The original JZW (or 'Tiger Tail 2') Manchu bow does not come with a modified cork grip, although the most recent version seems to come with a new material for the grip.

Information on some of the materials used in this project :
* the bow and the materials used for the grip are purchased from YZDW -https://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=...
* the birch bark was purchased from Yeon Mu Gung - https://goongdo.com/mall/m_mall_detai...
