Bone tips

(1/1)

DC:
Any reason not to use bone instead of horn when making "horn" tips? I was thinking that white might look nice.

ravenbeak:
Never used bone. But i do use quite a lot of moose antler which finishes up bright white

DC:
I guess you would have to use the tips of antler because of the spongy center?

AndrewS:
Bone has an other cell structure then horn. In some directions it will break/split easier.

ravenbeak:
Moose is not as spongy as deer or elk.  Most of it can be used.
