Dang, that's a bummer. Isn't there anything that you can do with them?
Feel free to correct me, but I was under the impression that most scale slabs begin with a radius section cut from the original round section and are softened with heat either water or steam and pressed between steel plates to produce the flat slabs that we see available. If you think about it , I personally have never seen a animal with square horns. :shrug: The area of the tips is solid, and this is the area that produces the highest quality material . Much of what is available is probably of the pressed variety.
Still....would make for some cool brush handles
I posted a link in the workshop forum you may find interesting.:hmmm::
