Mark, I have a set of buff horn but I ain't got that far into that kind of stuff...yet.

 I narrowed the tips and added mahogany overlays(TBIII)...


..of course the dogs are doing what they like to do on a rainy day.

 ...and I added the leather handle overlay to fill out the back of the handle. Once the glue dries(TBIII)I'll shape it to the handle...

Dogs are a must. I don't know how folks live without them. These dogs are masters at laying around and they have 9 beds around the house and on the porch to choose from.  :dunno:  :saywhat:

...and every time our daughter visits we get at least 2 more.  :dunno:
 Rosie the yellow dog is the toy freak. She loves them all. Maggie the black dog is more into real bears and coyotes. She will nuggie a toy occasionally but they really aren't her thing.

I shaped the leather back overlay and dyed the bow's back with Fiebings medium leather dye then started with Tru-Oil finish...

Here is a side view of the handle area.

I'm on the 2nd coat of Tru-Oil. Once I get as few more around the handle I'll add the Floppy Rest then a hemp cord wrap on the handle. It's raining today so the Tru-Oil curing will be a bit slower.
