    Default Source of Horn Blanks?

    I was wondering who all sold 1/8" horn blanks. I know Maggard sells them, but you don't know what they are going to look like. Anyone else have them?

    A friend and fellow member here at SRP sells on Ebay. Check out what he has listed. Horn is usually available and what I've purchased has been really nice.

    Yeah, I've purchased collars from him a couple times. He is a great guy to do business with.
    I was thinking his honey horn blanks were darker, but after a second look I guess they just need to be sanded to bring out the honey color more.
    Thanks

    Horn is a natural product that varies piece by piece. What you see online is only an example of what is offered.

    Austin has always gone well beyond the expected to provide quality pieces. You may want to ask for help from him as a seller at EBay.

    Just a thought.

    I know they vary, but in the pictures it looks like his are rough cut vs finished, which makes the color appear darker than they would sanded and polished. And I probably will be contacting him, Thanks.

    If you backlight rough cut horn slabs it will show the colour.

    I've had really good luck with
    origindia09origindia09 on eBay. I'll have to check out our member that is on there.
