Horn bow newb
Jakesnyder:
Will bamboo make a good core? Anyone use buffalo horn?
Stick Bender:
I started one about 5 bows back but devoleped a fetish for angular bows , but a good source for info is Adam Korpowicz , Turkish Ottoman bows it's a top notch book I have read it at least 5 times and planing on reading it again very detailed , but my choice of horn is water buffolow & core is sugar maple , but BowEd on here has used gemsbok horn with great success I would stay away from any processed or polished horn , I would highly recomend the above book it covers every thing on these bows in great detail ! You guys are making me want to get back to it...lol
Jakesnyder:
Where can I get some horn? Does anyone know of anywhere I can get some?
Pat B:
James Parker, Huntworthy Products is a sponsor and has everything you need to make a horn composite bow. James has made just about any style you can think of.
Stick Bender:
I picked up some semi processed WB slats from James a while back I dont know if he is still doing them I also picked up some raw un processed WB slats out of China off the big auction site longer ones are getting harder to come by but found some, I have 2 more other bows to finish up but planning on getting back to this build this winter ! Gemsbok horn is easier to find long horns !
