Topic: Bow Spreader

In Korean bow making, a particular tool is used to spread the tips of a new made bow so that various processes can be carried out. These days the tool has two ends shaped to rest against the bow limbs and an adjustable centre section with a series of holes and a peg to lock the two halves at a given length appropriate to the bow being worked on.

It is similar to the Turkish aşa gezi and is demonstrated in Thomas Duvernay's video on Korean bow making. I have been unable to discover its Korean name. I would really appreciate some help.

I remember our talking about that some time ago, Bede.  If someone doesn't find out before, I'll see if I can get the answer to it the next time I'm talking with a bowyer.

Yes, I have the same question. Not to be confused with the curve formers (Dogigae) or the bow support (walchangae). Excuse my Korean!

Is that the bamboo pole that is straight and placed at the ends once you spread the Siyahs with your legs? This is used before the doljigae?
