who's working on composite horn bows?
DC:
Thank you
duke3192:
Also as the form reflexs when the sinew is drying the horn pieces develop gaps that need to be filled.
Tc:
Well, not exactly O:). That part of the bow does not move neither during seasoning nor shooting. Besides this little bone (the Turkish name is celik) is glued before seasoning so if the horns moved there, the bow would develop a gap with the celik glued in place....

Thank you Tc, I got my information from a video on composite bow building, I will just have try and see what happens with different types of composites.
Lukasz Nawalny:
I have celik theory and I check it in practice. I glue celik after tillering. When we have bows glued in big reflex horns on belly have tendency to little movements in tillering proces. When we dont have space between horns it make big tear away forces in horn/wood gluing, so I have seen a lot of delaminations in handle area. When I glue bow in C reflex I have always space between horns and I glue celik last
