Sheep Horn Bow build (complete)
sieddy:
The curve on that baby is off the hook! :D
Seems like you'll be knocking out the hornbows like you do the Yew ones! :)
BowEd:
Lordy wizgoat I'm watching here.Quite a build.Cool looking bow.Wish I liked shooting those short bows,but still like the whole process your going through there with natural materials etc. and the tillering is something else too I'm sure.
wizardgoat:
Making some progress on number 2, getting your horns to bending billets is the most time consuming part.
Parnell- new horns are about 24", but I'll probably end up with around 16" of usable length, hopefully more.
DC- pretty much! There's a lot of sinew on the handle, I hope it pays off
Sieddy- I hope so, it's tough finding good horns though, a little easier finding nice yew and a lot cheaper 😉
Beadman- i enjoy shooting short bows, I'm mostly making this bow just to make it. I have a general idea on tillering, but I'm a little nervous for that part.
blackhawk:
Is it dry yet? ;D hows number two coming along? ;D ....sorry to be that nosey nieghbor 8)
wizardgoat:
Hehe no my patience hasn't cracked on this one yet, got plenty of other things to keep me busy till this thing can be taught to bend. I've got the billets roughed out for #2, they need more shaping.
Working on a batch of dogwood arrows with trade points to accompany this bow.
Too many bows too little time
