ARCHERY

Whole, uncut, hollow Ox horn carefully selected for a workable combination of straightness / one plane curve / lack of spiral aspect, wall thickness and mixed colours. Significantly more pliable than Water Buffalo horn, this material may have any minor natural shape "issues" corrected with a minimal application of heat and pressure. The unique layering of colours make it a particularly rewarding material to work with.
**PHOTO AWAITED**

Evenly prepared, sanded finished in Water Buffalo horn. Conically drilled at 11 degrees. No string groove - cut your own to suit required angle. Generally 1/2" across the open end.
Large stock. Sold in pairs!!!!! Excellent trade volume discounts!!!

Horn tips cut,on average, between 3" and 6" in order that you may fashion the nock to your pattern, the formation being centred to the middle of the horn point.....giving maximum strength and even appearance in graining when completed.
Sold by the kilo. We carry a massive stock of these and will supply whatever quantity you may require from 1kg - 1000kg!!!
Regular and larger trade discounts may apply...please contact us to discuss requirements!!!

Full length ( hollow portion plus solid tip ) of selected, regular crescent shaped swamp type Water Buffalo horns of Chinese origin. Selected horns for bow building have curvature in one plane only and no side twist. Selection further ensures no deep dimpling / cracks that will take away form the potential of the material. All horns will of course have weathered outer surfaces, some more than others - the potential of the piece should be assessed from the smooth inner surface outwards and not from the rough outer surface inwards. If you have the equipment to cut these for yourself, then you will have all the extra material ( side strips and points ) left over to use on other jobs. If not see our catalogue entry immediately below for "backstrip" cut horn.
Note: Whole horns are generally heavier to ship outwith the UK, but contact us for comparative figures on shipping costs to be sure as rates can vary substantially country to country.

80 - 90cm horns are RARE and take time to find in bulk stock - thus a premium is payable and the order may take A FEW WEEKS to enable selection from bulk stored material.

Take a look at the catalogue entry for "full horns". Backstrips are £1 per item more expensive, having handling + cutting included in the price. You receive the "back strip" material with it's natural internal and external surfaces untouched, ready to dress down and dimension. These are lighter in weight to send overseas, so saving on shipping costs and with the cutting already done for you. Typically a very generous 50mm+ in width, and your specified length on the outer arc.

All horns will of course have weathered outer surfaces, some more than others - the potential of the piece should be assessed from the smooth inner surface outwards and not from the rough outer surface inwards. We can forward either "just" the strips ( to save carriage costs ) or strips plus offcuts where carriage costs are quoted ahead of payment and approved by you. If you want the leftover material also sent....mention this in the comments field at the end of the ordering process please.

Stark, vibrant colours in these scarce horn points. May be used as nocks that have an appearance dramatically different from the standard black buffalo horn most commonly used.
