I don't like trying to blend the two where the dark wood tapers into nothing. Never looks good. I'll call this one a prototype :D I'll take a closer look at yours now that Pat found it

Well dagum, looks like he nailed it. And dense as that is, its probably horn.
PatM:
Bone actually.

Impatience won out. I went and bought some. Close to $80 a liter(US quart roughly)Overnight is such a conveient time for epoxy to cure rather than stare at it all day. So, one limb backing on, out starting to cure in the sun. 70° here today thanks to some hot air drifting up from the States. My laser thermometer says the rubber strapping is 97° Life is good(sorry Pappy)

I'm not sure what I'm looking at. That looks like the grip of a bow. Do you have a link to the write-up, if there is one?
