Troops:
A newbie in the process of fabricating two horns. One a cowhorn kit from a friend and a bison horn I'm working up from scratch.
The kit horn is well smoothed and appears to have a hard shiny finish to the exterior. I have rasped, filed, and sanded the bison horn down to 1200 grit and it's taking on a mild sheen. When complete, I'd like a little more shine.
What's the typical approach? I was thinking a simple waxing might suffice, or perhaps a layer or two of Tru Oil since I'm in the process of working up a stock too.
Thoughts please?
