Horn bow

High-Desert:
The tillering with heat will be interesting. I'm going to have a lot of questions when that time comes. There seems to be plenty of guys on here with that experience.

I'll see if I can manage to load a few pics of my SLOW progress.

stuckinthemud:
Not so slow as me; horns arrived weeks ago but things have been so crazy in work I've barely had chance to look at them😀

Redhand:
Thanks Goat  the two you finished looks great, it seems like horn and sinew would be very flexible.  I have seen some horn bows on the internet that when they were strung it looks like they could very easily flip on you.

Thanks High-Desert I look forward to seeing your pics

DC  with this much reflex I would guess that you would brace it like the Koreans brace theirs.  Then again maybe through the tillering process you can some how tame some of the reflex.

stuckinthemud I had these set of horns for about a year before I even messed with them.  I didn't know where to start, so finally I just decided to go for it. And for me the hardest part was cutting the top curl from the horn.

loon:
Looks awesome. Nice work
Does it have a wood core? How wide is it at the grip?

Redhand:
Thanks loon this bow does not have a wood core just horn and sinew. The handle is about 1 1/2 wide the limbs are about 1 3/4 wide.
