Title: Phenolic, horn overlays?
Post by: BEN on May 04, 2009, 06:20:00 PM

Got another question for you guys. I'm building a bow for my wife that she wants to back with snakeskin. she also wants to have black horn tips----she is asking for a lot  :bigsmyl:  
Any way, I'm making a hickory self-bow for her and am wondering if I can use phenolic as it seems to be a little cheaper than the horn that I have found. If either will work, what is easier to work with and any tips? i've done antler tips on my bow, but she wants black tips.

thanks again,

ben

Phenolic or  fiberglass is the easiest
