Gemsbok Horn ?

Stick Bender:
Hi Fellas I could have probably asked this on a PM , but figured I would do it hear in case some body else has the question , here is the horn I receive not as strait as described but none the less it's what I have to work with, in the Beadmans horn prep a long he straitened the horn after rasping the ridges but his was a lot straiter then this one,it seems to me it would be a lot of horn to heat , is it possible to cut this horn on a center line & straiten the 2 peaces or go ahead and straiten it while uncut ?

Stick Bender:
More pics

BowEd:
Stickbender....Cut your horn with a line straight up and down along the curvature of your 3rd picture so as to get a reflexed half and a deflexed half.After hollowing it out as in the build a long when you heat to flatten it they will be the same then after that process.Hope I worded that right for ya.

Stick Bender:
Ok thanks Ed I know you straitened yours before so wasn't sure , but what you said makes total sense Thanks 

BowEd:
When they show to sell those on ebay or whatever it's nice if they show different views of it.I don't buy it if they don't.Male horns are shorter and thicker/females are skinnier and longer as a general rule.
