Bone tips
« on: October 19, 2018, 02:21:40 pm »
Any reason not to use bone instead of horn when making "horn" tips? I was thinking that white might look nice.

I guess you would have to use the tips of antler because of the spongy center?

Bone has an other cell structure then horn. In some directions it will break/split easier.

Moose is not as spongy as deer or elk.  Most of it can be used.
