Thanks for watching, friend! You'll want to watch this video on How to Remove Smell from your Drinking Horn, as well: ua-cam.com/video/zmrqOxANd0U/v-deo.html
Brilliant! It is enlightening to hear the thoughts of an artist in the process of working out a design. I would love to see more videos about carving drinking and blowing horns. Wes þu hal and gods bless!
That's a fine looking Raven Brian👍 enjoyed watching the process of making the grooves as well as the carving, I have started on my first Skrim project!! involving a deer antler...quickly discovering the intense hardness of the material! has added many more levels of respect to the hobby, thanks very much for the inspiration Brian🙂
Hi Janson, thanks for being here with us! Yes, antler is hard and tough also. Bone is hard but brittle in comparison. That rolled up magazine trick works well with antler though. I can’t wait to see what you do with it, it will be awesome.
Hello Reefwade, thanks for checking us out. I raise pigs each summer so I asked my butcher to save me horns. Other than that you can check out Crazy Crow Trading Company.
Hello! I have three questions: 1. What is the knife you use (super sharp one. appears to be a bone handle?) 2. is that a bone bracelet I see? 3.What tips do you have for carving bone bracelets? Thank you profusely.
Hello Tomco, l hope l got that right. Welcome to the tribe, we appreciate your support and l love questions. First, the knife l used in the beginning is one of my wood carving knives, it’s store bought but I do make a lot of my own tools. We have a number of videos on that sort of thing. Secondly, the bracelet l’m wearing is actually ivory but you can make them out of bone or horn, you just need an appropriate size piece of material. I guess this moves into your third question but there are so many ways to make a bracelet from a one piece hoop to a pieced together type, to a bone beaded sort. I’ve got a video on making beads. I hope this helps, please don’t hesitate to ask me for further details, l love helping.
Hello Nik, thank you for checking out our channel. Yeah,the dust from sanding horn is probably not good for you on a prolonged exposure, but nether is most woods as well. I work in these materials a lot and I have a dust collection system that works very well. But light exposure such as sanding one horn is not too bad. It would be better if it was done outdoors.
damn i wanna try this but can't find any local farms that would give these away. way too expensive to buy online! 20-30 bucks for 1 horn and i'll most definitely mess up my first few attempts. can you practise this on wood? or a similar material before going onto the real thing?
Hey BOG LURKER, thanks for coming along with us. Where are you located? Every community has a butcher or processing place. I would look for one of those things. Yes you can practice on wood to get familiar with reduction carving. Keep in touch and let me know what you come up with.
@@StockmanOriginal i'm in england uk, semi rural town so there are a lot of farmers near me but i dont know them enough to walk on their land and ask for things. might get shot haha
Howdy DavidS, happy to have you along. Check out our videos on scrimshaw and we would love to see what you come up with. Horn is a little trickier to work because of the fibrous nature of it. I would suggest using a sharp knife rather than a scribe. It’s a lot of fun to do-enjoy!!
Hello Kevin, thank you so much for joining us, your support means everything to us. As far as horn and antler goes, it’s just the opposite. Horn, claw, fingernail, and hoof all keratin( hair). You can see it in the grain structure and smell it when you work with it. Antler on the other hand is definitely in the bone family. I have heard that it actually a fast growing, controlled form of bone cancer and it even has a memory. For instance, if a deer damages an antler during the velvet stage of growth and it grows deformed, next year the antler will show the same deformity even though no damage occurs that year.

I learned somthing, the ancient inuit had cows and magazines🤣 great video
Hey Eric, you didn’t know that about the Inuit people? Great dairy farmers in their day!🤪
I didn't realize that the tip of a horn is actually solid. This is a beautifully made piece. Thanks for sharing your technique.
Thank you Canuck Nancy42, some horns are more solid than others but usually you get 3-4” of solid material.
Brian, the scope of your knowledge is both wide and deep ,another wonderful creation!
Thank you Roy, we are so happy you are enjoying our channel, wouldn’t be much without folks like you.

Thank you so much arweninnj, l’m hoping to get back to some horn work soon.
Magnificent like always Brian! 💚 i cant wait to put my hands in some cow horns to try somenthing like that!
Hello Garou,l hope you do. Please show how it works out.

Hey Trulax, thank you checking in with us. Hope that owl is behaving it self!😁
wicked cool...as always
Thank you Sheepdog9, great to have you along!
You can use a broken beer bottle and scrape it down to get the scale of. Corona bottles or something thick like that seems to work best.
Yes, that’s a good point. They used to make wooden handles for glass scrapers, l think my dad has one somewhere.
Where do you source horns? I haven't found anything local! Thanks for the videos!

I just have one question, is the resulting powder (resulting from the scrubbing) too dangerous for breathing?
Great video!!

Guess I should place an order with crazy crow. Lol
Hey Jeff, crazy crow is a good sorce, but I hooked up with our local slaughter house.😁Left with a barrel full of horns!😳
I'm a amateur bone Carver,I want to do some scrimshaw. I just got a nice horn to play with . See what happens

dude ... how i wish this man was my grandfather
Thank you Dante, that’s a very nice thing to say!! I’m so happy you have found our channel , welcome to the family!!
I understood that antler is “hair”, and horn is not.

@@StockmanOriginal Thank you. I was misremembering antelope. I appreciate the correction.
No problem, thanks again for being part of our tribe.
