Help please :)

Hello everyone!

This is quite a strange request, I must say, but does anyone in the forums have some written material or experience with processing horns ? I am not speaking about turning, but rather the process of getting rid of the "bone" (or is it nerve?) inside the horn and good ways for polishing it by hand (Sand paper? some kind of coating?)

Today I have obtained 2 goat horns which I would like to process into some kind of earrings. There are what you call for "Archava" or "Stretched earrings" where the hole in the ear is not exactly orthodox.


Many many thanks in advance for any help,
Nissim.


P.s
I'll leave you guys with some photos of my trip in India so far.

Hello Nissim,

Just google "processing horns" and you'll get lots of info.
An example for you:
