Just having recently completed mine, I thought I would post a couple of photos for comments and/or criticism.   On a side note, this past Sunday was quite rewarding. DeProspero Sensei and a couple of his students ventured North to spend time with Bill Reid at his home. There was about 10 of us shooting and we spent the morning releasing to the mato in Bill's back yard kyudojo. Though I left early and went to church service, the time I was able to spend with my former teacher was splendid. |

Your ebira looks absolutely fantastic, rjsimmons! Again, I'd be very interested in your construction methods - particularly how you attached the slats to the inside top of the box (thanks very much to Takeda Sanjuichiro for his explanation too).

Steve-dono,
I haven't seen Yasugawa-dono online recently. Your best bet may be to click on his name, go to his profile and contact him via email.

My apologies for being so long in responding. The Marine Corps has kept me quite busy of late. My friend, Chris Gilman (Gaston) did some work for The Last Samurai and sent me some scrap ebira parts. The slats are bamboo strips epoxied into a wooden frame that sits within a plastic box. I trimmed the upright frame (which is metal wrapped in bamboo strips) to fit the box and epoxied them into place. The slat frame was then trimmed to fit around the uprights and also epoxied into place. Sanded and painted to taste, then strung. |
