Looking forward to seeing this strung and drawn!

How will you adjust the limb torque, by the way the bows look great...

Do you groove all your horn and wood mating surfaces?
Ive started collecting all the pieces for a horn bow of some
type, to get going on this winter.
ill post some pics soon to maybe get some suggestions.
really stoked on this new forum, cheers! Ryan

Wow... I just love the look of these horn bows, even the broken ones you posted, just curvy and sweet little things. If I had a good supply of all the needed ingredients I would love to attempt to make some. I will continue to improve my skills and some day I WILL make a great horn bow. Thanks for the posts, really gets me all excited and anxious to work in the shop!!

yes wg, on these bows they are fully grooved,, but they are not deep ,, only 1/2- 1 mm in depth
the yuan bow has to be heated at the siyah and moved in the opposite direction,, this bow has been giving me fit
-
Would love to see your grooving set up please!

them albinos look sweet on this bow James
