Domestic sheep horn

(1/2) > >>

stuckinthemud:
Quick question, As horn from the big wild sheep breeds is pretty much impossible to obtain in the UK, but large ram horn is common and inexpensive, does anyone know how big  a horn strip domesticated sheep breeds will yield?

GlisGlis:
Horn like that looks pretty long. dont know if they are suitable for bow making (images are linked from external sites)

WhistlingBadger:
I've wondered about horns from domestic goats.  Some of them get pretty long.

GlisGlis:
this one should be perfect for a Penobscot bow  (lol) (lol) (lol) (lol) ;D ;D ;D ;D (lol) (lol)

Mafort:
Getting around that bend in the sheep horn is tough. I’m trying it and I’ve taken to using chisels to remove the material.
