Thank you for the warm welcome! This is one serious rabbit hole.
I've had my core and horn strips ready for weeks now. They were both made perfectly flat, then grooved 2 mm (not matching) and sized for several days with thin hide glue (220 bloom).
I'm pretty much physically ready to do the horn/wood glue up but I've totally stalled. I'm running into a couple roadblocks. Mainly around work time with the glue up. My problem is I don't have access to my shop or a space that I can heat easily. I am planning on adding a light percentage of fish glue to my mixture to extend working time slightly but I haven't even settled on a wrapping method yet.
I as going to do either c clamps or the rope method but without the tencik. Anyways, I figured there's no rush. I've also gotten sidetracked with projects. I'll share these soon.
I'll post some of the progress pics I have so far today.
I've really enjoyed seeing you folks projects and the experiments with horn bows, they are beautiful. Thanks for the input. I'll reach out likely with some questions.
