Hey Marty, hope all is well.  Try heating the horn in the oven @ 250, check it regularly for pliability.  Time will depend on thickness.  I have used gemsbok for knives and the oven has woeked well.

Very cool looking bow.  That horn might be hard to work with but it is worth it.

I don't know how you do it Apex. How do you bring yourself to mailing out something that awesome?

Here are some completed photos.  I normally take more, but the sand knats were eating me alive!  It was in the upper 70s today.

Great looking bow. You have an eye for matching different woods etc.  I've liked them all.

Don't know how you sell something that beautiful but I am sure glad you did  ;)  Awesome woods and that gemsbok is just about the coolest match to that wood I have ever seen.
