This is the second bow that I have used gemsbok horn as a riser overlay.  The first was much easier.  I guess if I had a waste high pile of horns to pick through it would be easier!  This one is a 64" Ossabaw that will finish right at the requested 57@29.5.  The riser is ebony, with a bubinga/black glass/bubinga accent.  The limbs are boo core, and bubinga faces.  The tip overlays are buffalo horn.  Supposedly the horn can be bent and shaped with a heat gun, but I found it next to impossibe.  I even tried boiling it.  Buffalo horn will bend with heat, but not so much with the gemsbok.

 

 

 

 

Cool, nice fat grip. I like that.

Very nice looking bow, well done.

SWEET! Nice work Marty!      

NICE!!!!!!

Looks great! Can't wait to see it with some finish.

Looks pretty dang good.  I like the ebony.  Really nice work

WOW!!! Marty, that is just tough lookin' man  

I agree looks great.

That is awesome looking.  I love that handle.

What a cool idea... and nicely matched.... Thumbs up ....

Aloha...  

Very nice indeed! I kinda like the flat look over the shiney for some reason.

Thanks for the kind words folks.

This one will really pop under a finish.  That ebony will be black.

Oh Wow! Man I really, really like the looks of that! Hell yeah, I want one.    

Too bad I'm always broke.    

Great Job, I think you could start a whole new line with that model. Sweet!  

Wow A beauty Marty. Great work

I really like the ebony, but I'm too cheap to buy any.

That's looking fine--can we see some pics of the entire bow?

I'll have her finished in a couple of days, and will show the rest of her.

Thats gonna be sweet Marty.  Nice!!
