All the bows look very well made.  Don’t think I’ve seen one yet with this length and draw.  Very cool to see.  What type of horn?  Thanks for posting.

Very cool sheep horn bow. I especially like the quillwork bands on the limbs and the tiller is right on. Very well done!  :OK

I love this bow.  The draw length is impressive.  Is this bow made with just sheep horn only or is there a wood core and or sinew also?  I agree the tiller is spot on.  What is the cast lime on this bow.  How would it compare with standard wood bow.  Thanks.

Very cool.  I’m working on a horn bow right now myself.  I’ll post some pics of it soon.  It’s a wood core with Buffalo horn belly and sinew back.  It’s got fixed levers reinforced with horn all glued together with hide glue.  Hopefully it doesn’t explode.  🤞
