Cut horns for trade.
« on: January 15, 2020, 02:57:27 pm »
Lookin to see what’s out there. I have two pairs of horns the shortest  is 50+CM and the longest is 70CM. I’m looking at anything that you may have for trade.

So are you saying that a "pair" are 19.7 inches and 27.56 inches tip to tip? That would mean the horns would be around 10- 14 inches long. Good sizes for powder horns.

It’s the outside curve of the horn used to make horn bellies.

How finished are you looking for? Finish as in you finish tillering it, or, finish as you put a finish on it? Right now I have a English long bow that is finished tillering, and has tallow beeswax on it. It still needs horn or antler nocks put on. Is that too finished?

I was thinking like a square blank that needs to be shaped and tillered. So I can try tillering it myself.

If it’s a hassle then we can trade for yew or vine maple. I haven’t had the privilege of working with either here in kentucky. It’s not one of the native woods
