Sheep Horn Bow build (complete)
wizardgoat:
Thanks guys, Parnell, I'll be doing sinew wrappings on the nocks. The tips have a slight recurve to them naturally, and I've heard more can return. All my sinew layers ending at the tips have slightly raised the area too.
Red hand, I don't want to jinx myself yet by calling it a bow! Since the last photo I've done one final layer. It's about 40% sinew in thickness. Tonight I'll fill in a couple little gaps,,do my first handle wrapping layer, and my tips as well.
It's gained a couple more inches of reflex.
Redhand:
You could always add a small sinew ball at the end of your tips if you feel like your string is going to slip off when your drawing your bow back. I've done that before and its worked great for me.
wizardgoat:
Redhand, please share some pics of your horn bows! I'd love to see how you did your tips
Redhand:
I put a sinew ball for the nock and a small sinew ball so the string doesn't slip.
wizardgoat:
Those look awesome Redhand, but now your going to have to share more photos!
