I have just completed a stick (Eucalypt of some kind) with spiral hitching and Turks heads.

The horn cap was easier that I thought especially with a belt sander to shape it.

I glued the horn on first with some 3/8 threaded rod and then did fine shaping on the belt sander.

Finally sanded with very fine sandpaper and sprayed with a clear sealer. the sealer gave a nice shine.

Definately interested. What a great job you've done. How much horn is needed? How do you deal with defects?

Attached (I hope!) is my first effort at cap on antler. You can just see a defect which i don't think matters on a small object even adds character!

Have you ever made a horn collar?

Cheers
