I had a hornbow with a lot of twist reverse itself and the horn belly broke. I'm going to make a replacement limb and try to attach it as one.

lewstewns:
thats a beauty Simson. when you reused the sinew plate did you glue it on solid like a fibreglass laminate? or did you soak it ?

simson:
I have soaked it some hours, it stayed together. If you ever have worked with rawhide - same consistance.

lewstewns:
ah thanks.yes i have used rawhide.i usually stitch it round the belly to dry.i,m looking forward to a wrestle with a wobbly jelly then!
