Very nice nice looking bow.  :)
I have a core glued up in this style which is waiting for horn.
Did you splice the tips in? What wood are they?
Did you groove the horn/core and what method did you use?
What glue did you use as well?

Siyahs /tips too/ is black locust with two horn plates.
Yes, horn and wood glued with groove method - I use hide fishing glue
No V or W groove for wood. It is gluing wood for this bow.
