Buffalo Horns

Here are some pic's of the first horns that I have ever done.

Since I've got a couple of buff horns waiting in the freezer, you've got my attention Vern. What did you use for the white in the engraving?

I've been looking at red due to the prevalence of red ocher for coloring by Indians down through the centuries, but my mind is always open to change. I don't know the provenance for either on a horn, but I'm sure someone will fill us in.

BrownBear, I used a namebrand by the name of Higgin's. A local art supply store carries it and they said that it was the same as India Ink. It seemed to work real well.

Thanks. I'll look for it. Adding red to the white might be the easiest way for me to come up with the ocher look.
