Incredible! Your work is just incredible. I'm always fascinated what you are doing on that sheephorn bows.
I would like to see more detail pics, for example the tips. Is the horn bent sharp and sinew wrapped?

Thanks everybody. Simson, the tips are of sinew that extends past the horn and shaped to a hook. When it dries it is as strong as anything. I have only seen Miwok, Western Mono, and hornbows with these nocks

Beautiful work Chuck!  Any chance you have pics or drawings of how you did that handle splice and tip hooks?  I am little dense and images help me understand.

Great work I really admire what you can do.

Very cool, thanks for sharing Chuck. 

I'm sure I wouldn't be speaking just for myself in saying that we would love to see you do a build-a-long of one of your horn bows!

Always have loved those short big horn sheep bows! That is absolutely spectacular work right there!! Only thing missing now is a mountain lion quiver and bowcase. I'd love to have that bow to put in mine!! 😀
