welch2:
I think I can still sand the horn down a little also .

welch2:
I unwrapped it , the sinew isn't cured yet , but it's holding just over 1" reflex ( measured to the back) .I dyed the last layer of sinew so I could easily determine what I sanding through as I evened up the back .





Next I will check ,again the thickness of the horn every where .Then sinew wrap the limbs just below the nocks . Then make and glue the horn spacer ,and install it in the handle ,,,,,, Then sinew wrap the handle.



And then cut and shape the nocks.

Ryano:
Coming along nicely.  ;D

The Burnt Hill Archer:
hey man its starting to look like a bow! ;D

welch2:
Thanks , yea it does look a bit like a bow.
I wrapped the limbs just below the nocks ,and either side of the gap in the horns at the handle.



And I made the horn spacer for the gap at the handle .I took my time filing it down making it so tight ,I had to pull it in place with clamps.
