American bison, horn bow w/sinew(pic update)
DCM:
I can't believe I missed this! I reckon I should look around, din even realize they had this forum.
Great job Timo, can't wait to go back and read it all thru.
AKAPK:
Tim, That Horn is really hard to work flat ,is there a specific distance apart that you made the spiral to cut?
Timo:
I layed out a template on a piece of 2" masking tape,on a big miror I had. I then just cut out the pattern,peeled it off the mirror and transfered it to the horn. I just kinda moved it around until I had it the way I thouhgt would work.That is when i sprayed painted it.Peeled off the pattern and cut all the painted area away.
zeNBowyer:
The only method I had seen before this using horn was to cut it lengthwise, toward the tip, so the natural bend of the horn ran lengthwise, I have to wonder if a horn bow made in this manner (twisted horn) won't naturally twist the limbs over time? Quite an amazing technique however:)
Dusan:
Bow looks good , but... your cut stile , Timo is veeery bad. If bow live some time you must be lucky. You cut all horn lines cros his natural direction. Its same like if you cut sinew in smal pieces- or bow wood cut not in his long line , but cross his width.But who know, maybe you are lucky man? :D
