Gemsbok means   "Gems  Buck" in Afrikaans. The Oryx has what appears to be a diamond (gem) on its forehead, hence the name.

Full draw sounds nice but I'd like to see some more pics of the details on the bow. That is cool as it can be.

Ditto that, but we do need a full draw pic to enter it in BOM :)

"The bow is the old first lyre,
the mono chord, the initial rune of fine art
The humanities grew out from archery as a flower from a seed
No sooner did the soft, sweet note of the bow-string charm the ear of genius than music was born, and from music came poetry and painting and..." Maurice Thompso

Good looking Horn Bow...

Have one in the works myself.
Finally found the Right set of Horns.
Still looking for the Right hunk of wood for the Riser.

Like the way you cleaned up the Horn Transitions with leather...
