Renacs:
Ok. i'v been home for a couple of weeks now and im ready to start out my horn bow.  The material i have is horn and sinew.  The horn i have is from James Parker. Split already.  So im going to trim it and flatten it. From there what is the next step. P.S. Im intimidated with this process. One other thing what is the total thickness of the horn that i've been shooting for?   As i go along i'll post pics and we can do tnis together.

Parnell:
Have you accessed the Karpowicz book, yet?

Renacs:
no, I've only found it in German.  But going to move forward anyways. This morning i should be at a stopping point for a BBO that I've been working . Then I'm going to cut the horn.   From than point i'm hoping to  tackle my core. I have some decent ash, hickory, and white oak. The Sugar maple that i have harvested turned out to be junk. Do you think any of those wood would be usable or should i hold out for something different?

Parnell:
I've seen Ash referred to.  Are you considering a 3 piece or 5 piece design?

Aaron H:
I talked to Adam a couple of months ago.  He is hoping to have his 2nd edition released sometime this summer.
