Title: horn insert question
Post by: occupant on October 24, 2012, 12:11:06 am

Does anyone know of a faster way to get horn to even thickness other than sanding it after it is flattened. I want to use it for my own war arrows, but I lack the 5 to 6 year apprenticeship common to the age these were state of the art.

Nevermind, I think I have it figured out.

They would have assigned that type of work to the apprentice :o

Horn scrapes pretty good with a sharp blade, but seriously, I would just go over to my belt sander. >:D
