Good thing you asked. A friend has asked me to make a bow using
Buffulo horn. He thought it was from a buffulo.
Is it a kind of wood?


It's generally from an Asian water buffalo; a carabao.
'Buffalo Horn' is from an American Bison, and is expensive and hard to get.
Carabao horn can be a couple of feet long- you can take plates and strips
from it that are quite large.
Bison horn is much shorter, very curved, smaller solid areas.
