Title: Sources for horn strips....or baleen?
Post by: Mark Baker on December 29, 2012, 01:14:00 PM
I'm looking to play a bit with some horn on the bellies of some shorter bows I'm working on, and was wondering where a guy could get some.  There is some on the big auction site (from China) but is there anybody...or any sponsors that carry some?    I do have some bighorn sheep horns that I'm "saving" for a sheepeater bow build, and I don't want to use them up "playing" around, so I am looking for some cow horn, or baleen, or anything...any ideas?

Click edit and remove it. It's the little page with the pencil on it, right above your post.
