Does anyone have experience or sources on working horn? I have a small
lot of cattle horn that I would like to use for Viking style drinking
horns and a few horn tips that could be sliced for buttons / buckles /
belt tips - mounts etc. However, I have no experience working or
tooling it. I would also appreciate any information on how these types
of items were decorated, how the drinking horns were carried when not in
use, and how should the inside of the drinking horn be finished for use.
Does it need a beeswax or pitch lining or can it be used in its' natural
state, say after a bit of sanitizing then curing with your drink of
choice? All information is greatly appreciated.
