I'm just pretending I know what I am doing and it's not another snakey bow. :P
The last 3 broke or cracked so I have nothing to loose :fp
Learning how to floor tiller and a long string to me is NTN on the loops has made me get better results. ;)

Sheep/Ram horn I cut a piece off and boiled it for a while and tied some Reflex in it so I could sand the belly flat


I glued it to the tips and with these files I shaped them.


The arrow rest is on the right so I made it for left/right handed



I spot drilled it and filled it with turquoise on both sides, One side is higher than the other


Top 4" fade

I really like those knocks.  I saw something similar in a PA issue and tried it out with antler on one of my bows last summer.  The effect is great.

By gully you got it. Well done sir. That one certainly has a lot going on. Very challenging stick. I’m sure you will turn lots of heads with that one.
