Horn flattened with heat, ready for the second round of grinding.

John Sturtevant · « **Reply #201 on:** February 07, 2006, 06:40:00 PM »

Cleaned up and thinned down some. Need to shape to the limb profile and finish flattening when I have the bow. I’ll pick this up again later when the bow gets here…..and hope we don’t screw it up.

Yes, grinding horn is like smelling burning hair but it sure polishes up nice. Not quite as nice as grinding garrolite though.

Boy, he's got ergo mats and storage drawers and you can see his walls and floor and everything.

Mike, mailed the guards on Friday. You and Terry hafta figure out which bow they go with, I have to ask my bride if my socks match :D

Roughcountry · « **Reply #211 on:** February 12, 2006, 11:03:00 PM »

Heres how the guards finished up. The other has black rawhide lace instead of white and the stamping pattern go's clockwise.

cellophane · « **Reply #212 on:** February 13, 2006, 01:17:00 AM »

whoa...roughcountry, even if your socks don't match you sure can do some leatherwork. workmanship is stunning!

the Ferret · « **Reply #213 on:** February 13, 2006, 06:45:00 AM »

Geez neat stuff..you have to wonder who was the first guy to figure out how to make that horn suitable for application to a bow and how he eve thought of it. Also hard to believe it bends back and forth without snapping.

Beautiful leatherwork Roughcountry!

Tom Leemans · « **Reply #214 on:** February 13, 2006, 07:10:00 AM »

Robin that guard is AWESOME!

Mickey - Horn...Nature's carbon fiber!

John Sturtevant · « **Reply #215 on:** February 13, 2006, 11:02:00 AM »

Robin, the leather work is absolutely beautiful. Very impressive.

USPS hasn’t got around to delivering the bow yet, so no progress. Hoped to have it done this weekend. Evidently I’m supposed to be gone hunting late this week thru the 26th….so it will be after that before I can work on it now.

How's it coming along?

John Sturtevant · « **Reply #217 on:** February 27, 2006, 01:22:00 PM »

The bow made it, but I’ve been gone hunting. Finally had a little time to work on the bow a bit yesterday.

Now we’ll see if I can keep from screwing up the fine work of masters Westvang and Jones.

This is what we're starting with.

John Sturtevant · « **Reply #218 on:** February 27, 2006, 01:25:00 PM »

Will record the tiller and make sure I get it back to something kinda close.

Unbraced

Braced

At 28”

More later.....

What an outstanding bow... I can't wait to see the finished product.
