to post pics go to the main forum section and search there or the Search section. Several tutorials on how-to are perviously disscussed. Not too difficult to make happen, easier than enletting parts!. :grin:

Can you use mink oil (we use that on mocassins) and get a similar effect?

I've been using a mixture of beeswax and linseed oil on my horns and it works good.

Did you add anything to the bw to soften it up to rub it in the horn, or just warm it, or...?

Thanks, sse

I just rubed it on the horn like you would cross country skis. I would rub a bit on hard and the friction from the rubing with a sweat shirt or cotton cloth sort of melts it and spreads it around. I would do a couple of inches at a time and over lap as I went.F.K.
