Decorated hornbow

gorazd:
Very nice decoration !

Where did you buy the paint ?
Have you grooved the horn before gluing to the core ?

mikekeswick:
I made the paint by grinding pigments with a little linseed oil then mixing with copal resin varnish. I got the pigments from a shop called Cornelisons in London. Yes the core/horn have matching grooves about 12 per inch and 2mm deep. I use the method Adam Karpowzi shows in his book about Turkish bows.

medicinewheel:
Love it!

loefflerchuck:
no shortcuts there. Looks great!

RBLusthaus:
Wow!   Did you use a stencil of some sort, or is your hand THAT steady?  Wow!   Would love to see a full draw.  Russ
