Hone is a natural material that is made by nature into a curve, we try and tell Mother Natural that we want it straight

Even the Vintage scales warp(ed) I am pretty sure the Heat Pressing helped it but it wasn't perfect either...

All you can do is try and buy the best you can and leave it in a press until it is time to use it

A press can be as simple as two-three $3 C-Clamps and two pieces of straight Hardwood leave the Horn in there until it is time to use.. Honestly this might not be the news that many want to hear because many of you don't buy ahead...
