Indian River Buffalo Horn 2 Pack Pen Blanks

Very Attractive Pen Blank

Soak the horn first, before drilling or turning. Make certain your tools are sharp, your cuts are light and the speed is low. Wet sand only, unless you like the smell of roasting keratin (horn). Great results with a micromesh kit, finished off with a couple passes with polishing compound. A final coat of wax and I was very pleased.

Worth the time and effort

If your used to turning wood only be ready to purchase a different polish as you don't use sandpaper. I will suggest you soak in water for 12 hours or more and that is excellent tip. Makes absolutly beautiful pens and yep it stinks while being turned and drilled.

Makes a Great Pen

This material was easy to work and polishes up like plastic. It makes beautiful pens. Be prepared if you've never worked horn. It has a strong odor
