Thread: Joseph Rogers & Sons with hornscales

For this J. Rogers 5/8 i made my first selfmade hornscales. I bought a green hornplate and cut the scales. If you sand them wet, there are no problems with a bad smell.

This is fine!

Beautiful job as usual Buddel. I always like seeing new work from you.

Nice work mate & thanks for the tip of wet sanding.Paul

+1 on both counts. I have two slabs of Buffalo horn that I'm just starting to work on and it's burnt hair city even trying to cut the stuff. Wet sanding!

Thanks!

That is why I don’t do horn or bone. They just stink too much so I keep to wood.

Very nice work!!!!1

Beautiful work!!!

Beautiful design, well executed!!

I love the translucence of the material.

Where did you get the scale stock, if you don't mind my asking?

Thanks a lot. I had searched a long time, until I found the hornplates in a size great enough for scales:


Rinderhornplatten

From this plate you can make 2-3 sets of scales.
