Horn turning stock

[Mark Elliott]

Where are you guys getting horn turning stock these days?   I really don't want to cut up polished horns for that, even though I have in the past.   I have bought raw horns for turning stock, but a high percentage of those have been unusable due to delamination.  I have been ordering solid horn rounds off of eBay, but they are very expensive.    Are there any other alternatives of which I am not aware?

Crazy Crow has solid round stock. Different sizes ans colors. As you stated it is spendy. Still better than cutting up horns only to find they're not usable.

 Mark, I have not tried a pack of these:

 Just noticed it says Out of Stock.

 I did call and they sent me 3 or 4 that were useable and of good color. Call and see what he can do for you.
 Roland Cadle has or had some raw horns that I know a couple folks use them. At least he would know what your looking for.
 Delamination is a problem, I tried painting the ends after cutting and even that didn't stop it.

Use antler.

Use antler.

  It's what I use, too.

Use antler.

 Depending on the style of horn, antler may not fit the architecture. TC
