Title: horn laminate for horse bows
Post by: legend on July 19, 2017, 12:14:16 pm
Hello All ,
Just a generalised question(s) regarding using horn for the belly section of the Asiatic / Horse bows . What kind of horn is recommended ? And at what thickness ?
Are there stockists in the UK who supply narrow 2" wide strips / laminates for this purpose ?
With thanks .
Mike

Good lord, you're not contemplating trying to make a horse bow are you... :o ::)
For pities sake, I've been making bows for 50 years and am just about ready to try it.
MAKE A SIMPLE BOW FIRST.
But to answer you question, Highland Horn supply Waterbuffalo horn which is suitable
