Very interesting indeed

Botondbow: The 25th you post some images of a snakeskin covered bow - I was wondering what type of horn you used for it? Surely it is not waterbuffalo? - maybe something like kyloe?

For my snakeskin bow I used Watusi Cattle (African) horn.
Sorry, let me correct myself the horn was said to be Watusi but I only know that they came from Africa! Horn is quite similar to the Hungarian Grey Cattle but more transparent.

Yes they are giants, sometimes I have a feeling that they are dinosaurs' horn and 1m long horn is not really rare!

"World record for largest horns ? they weigh over 100 pounds each, are over 3 feet in circumference, and measure eight feet from tip to tip. I?ll bet he could use a back rub after carrying those around!"
