Sincere condolences 🤝 at least the reason is obvious and you could learn and become better 🤗

Not being one to leave well enough alone I decided to re horn this little bow. Glue up went well. Really inspected horn well to hopefully avoid another explosion. To my eye it all looked good. I bent tested each piece of horn to reveal any potential issues. All looks good. I also put a layer of sturgeon glue on the horn and will let it dry for a week and try bending it. Here’s some pics. Thanks for looking.

awesome...and this is out of my wheelhouse, but a week doesn't seem like nearly enough time to dry/cure properly. I'm sure Ed will know.

Thanks bob. I should have been more clear. It was glued up over a week ago already. I just got around to posting updates now. I’ll be ok I think as far as glue up goes by next week. I’m just hoping horn is good this time around. It took a bit of work to get all that bad horn off carefully without wrecking the bow and start again.
Bob Barnes:
You and Ed know way more about horn than I do, but I don't even string a bow for a couple of weeks after glutting snakeskin on it...months for sinew... it's all too much work for me to take a chance by rushing it. It looks great though.
