horn laminate for horse bows
« on: July 19, 2017, 12:14:16 pm »
Hello All ,
Just a generalised question(s) regarding using horn for the belly section of the Asiatic / Horse bows . What kind of horn is recommended ? And at what thickness ?
Are there stockists in the UK who supply narrow 2" wide strips / laminates for this purpose ?
With thanks .
Mike
