Has anyone tried pressing horn slab to round it using heat ? I read a bunch of thrads on correcting warped scales but saw none on taking a horn slab and using hot water or dry heat and pressing it in to a form or die. On-line I found info on the craft thru some powder horn makers and also Sheffield heritage sites. The Horners had a guild just like the Cutlers,
I went and ordered some horn slabs from Masecraft and will try it out but if any members can offer experience that would be great. I want to re-create scales like these not sure if these are formed or not
