picked this up for pennies,,but how do i get the layers to seperate ,since its horn within horn within horn.?? without destroying the last layer..thanks !
-
another look.
-
last one.
-
The ones I had that we cut off when they dry the center came out.
-
just cut a hunk out, the tip will be solid for a ways you still need to file it down to shape it for tips, maybe I could do a little how to on tip overlays if that would help ya out , bub

was thinking a powder horn...for my dad
-
You can't grab that inside lip between thumb and forefinger and wiggle it out? How about a hot water soak for an hour or so then a wigggle? Is it fresh?
-
if ya lool close it has about 5or6 different layers all inside the other...gonna try some hot water.
-
Boil it for a few minits. Worked for me,the inside will slip right out
-
Soak it warm water for a few hours.Hold the pointy end and give it a few whacks all around the horn. on a piece of softwood. The core should pop out. If it's really dry it might need a longer soak. It's been a while , but as I recall ,it took a bit of effort but nothing extra human ;)
