Texas Longhorn for horn bow

<< < (2/4) > >>

Pat B:
I have some horn from young longhorns that were dehorned and they delaminated as they dried. This was from a mature longhorn so I was hoping this one wouldn't but I'll just have to find out. If it does, maybe the laminate will be thick enough. I guess I'll just have to see.
Stick bender, thanks for the link. Unlike that bow I will be using a wood core.
 Any suggestions how and where to cut this horn for lams?

Pat B:
I just Googled "cow horn bows" and the first pic was of Matt Wirwicki. I think his was just horn and sinew. There was another pic that looked like Wizard Goat with a longer bow but I couldn't see any detail.

Pat B:
Here are a few pics of the horn. That is a standard Altoids can next to it. You can see the damage around the base. Looks like it was crushed there. You can see where the tip split too. I don't think either will affect the horn for belly lams.

Stick Bender:
Pat I sent you the wrong link I think it was Pappy if my memories right that made a bow similar to what your building but I can't find it now ,it was pretty close to your dimentions !

Stick Bender:
Here is a old thread similar but bison horn http://www.primitivearcher.com/smf/index.php/topic,39711.0.html
