I working on this bow ,while I gather stuff for next attempt at the Egyptian bow. It's a plains style horn bow .Two strips of gemsbok horn ,with a shorter
third strip overlapping them at the handle and pinned with two horn dowels .
It's 35" long 1" wide . The bow just above it is just under 35" long ,red oak core ,longhorn strips (4 of them) and sinewed.
Here is a picture of the back ,showing the pinning ,I hope.
This is the belly .
One good thing about working with horn ,is you can stay busy if you work on several bows at a time.
