The tip of the horn should be the handle. You have them the wrong way round.

You want the thicker horn at the handle and through the bending section and with the thickness naturally tapering the base of the horn is perfect for the kasan where you don't want or need thicker horn. It's better to make the kasan mainly wood to keep the weight of the outer limbs down.

you are right but later i only thicker a few horn on tip part , when i bend it , all horn as a straight line shape, l lost a natural horn kansan but it can make a good kansan eye at horn where is solid, maybe it is very easy than use wood the kansan eye have not more strong turn flat when the fell draw the bow,

my wood still on a tree not cut and split, so the one plane project is sinew back horn , a wood handel and kansan , no core, when next year wood dry, it well be add the core
