I’m surprised you got the horn ready so fast Dave. I was expecting it to take weeks. I’m assuming you already had slats prepared? Or can you buy them that way?
We’re going to get a good education from this build.

Bj. Ya. I have slats that I bought last year but they need to be shaped into consistent thickness. They come pretty rough and uneven. I like to pre Bend with a little heat and do a dry fit for good measure. For this build I hadn’t intended to use horn and for a bow with sinew and horn on wood laminate I would glue up horn first and may be inclined to use fish glue. I wouldn’t be concerned with the heat interfering with the sinew if done in right order. So normally horn first then sinew. So the ea 40 was the way to go.

bjrogg:
Thanks for the explanation Dave. Makes sense
This certainly has become a good lesson in problem solving.
I still think this one is going to be worth the effort
