Thread: Re scaled W&B in Streaked Buffalo horn

This was fun, I used a completely different system to take the warps out, and de-stress the horn..
Many of you that use this stuff know that the Streaked Horn is the WORST of all of them for warping I will do a complete write up on what I used when I get time


Polished the horn with 3M Tri-m-ite 400-8000 paper

The pins are Brass the outside washers are domed SS inner bearing washers are Brass

The wedge is Faux Ivory the scales are at .115" thickness

No polishing on the steel








Honing was Chosera 1-5-10 with a Smashed Slurry on my Select grade Coticule for finishing




Thanks for looking

Man, that's nice Glen.
I always said that there is something special about old Sheffield's.
If this doesn't prove it...nothing will.

Very nice, and I like the stand too!

Wow, Glen, it's absolutely stunning--thank you for your fantastic work!

As usual Glen, amazing work. That one looks phenomenal

It turned out great! I love the look of streaked horn and am looking forward to seeing the how to write-up!

That's a great looking wade and butcher! Good job Glen. That streaked horn really makes for a good look.

Oh wow! The 8k finish on the scales looks awesome! I may have to try that with my next horn project. Excellent work, as always, Glen.

Great job Glen! looking forward to learning what you did to de- stress and straighten the horn.
