Straightening horn?

<< < (2/3) > >>

Mafort:
They may be too thick still

Pat B:
Are you clamping them between boards to keep them flat and straight while they cool and dry?

Mafort:
I tied them to board using the same method and tool you use to bind the horn to the wood core. Not clamped between two boards but they’re tied flat. I may thin them more if they aren’t thin enough and then try again.

JNystrom:
You could submerge them into water for some days. Some guys have only used this method to straighten their horns. Soak well and then bend straight.
Soaking and then boiling, should work wonders also.

I’ve got them semi straight but that’s not good enough. Im gunna try this method and see how it works out.
