Well , both horn strips are finally on. I think it's starting to look like a bow.
Now I have to give it the oval shape (except the back) and even up or taper the thickness of the horn .Then it's sinew time . ;D ;D ;D

that's deadly, man...don't rush, but keep it coming!
How thick are the horn strips, would you say?
welch2:
Just measured it for you , right at 1/4" .The bow is 1" wide at the handle now ,and 3/4" thick.
The originals were almost round , a slightly flattened oval .So I guess I'll be laying the sinew on kinda thick. about 1/4" thick to get right shape of the limbs.
