Cow horn drying checks

(1/3) > >>

wizardgoat:
A while back I bought a bunch of cow horn tips online. They were pretty cheap, but more than half had some pretty bad checks, and some had hairline checks. I’ve nearly used all of the good ones, and I’m trying to decide if there’s any use in attempting to use the rest.
Has anyone ever tried? Thin superglue? Not worth the time?

Ryan Jacob:
Maybe you could make overlays out of them?

Hawkdancer:
Arrow nock inserts or shims?

wizardgoat:
Ya there’s plenty of material for horn overlays inserts and that kinda thing, my question
is more about using them as horn cap nocks

Bryce:
I wouldn’t be using flawed material. I’ve had em fail on me before when I used some questionable horn for a horn nock
