30kg's of horn, ideas?

[mountainm]

I have 30kg's of horn winging it's way to me. Splitting it with Resnikov.

It's oddments good for knife scales, buttons, toggles, needles and scrimshaw. But I guess that's barely scraping the surface.

Any other ideas?

 

[Martti]

Scraps can be used to make glue.

Re-sell some of it to us? Always interested in new materials.

Make some spoons, combs or drinking horns.
Maybe use some to store tinder, tea or coffee, spear- or arrowpoints, jewelry.

Theo.

How about some tinder horns?

 

[mountainm]

these are all offcuts so drinking horns etc are unfortunately not doable. But spoons and combs may be possible.

how about a fire piston....

I could use some buttons/toggles for wool hoods and bushshirts
Happy to barter for them

cheers,

What's the going rate in buttons for a pair of knitted wool socks these days?

I really got to start reading things properly, 30Kg! i thought it said 3. Oh well will find something to do with my share of it.

[Puchal]

Forks, bushcraft jewelry, combs...
Shoe spoons?
This suppose to be a soup spoon, but.. well... my dear wife, decided that it will serve better as a shoes spoon in her wardrobe

Some may say this thread was crafted carefully in order to give me the opportunity to post that line.... however that is not the case.

Sell some of the horn, and when no one else wants horn, make things from horn and sell them

 

[mrcairney]

Yep, sell some. I'm game for a handful.
