Buffalo Horns ( full )

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. 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 for "backstrip" cut horn.
Note: Whole horns are heavier to ship outwith the UK, but contact us for comparative figures on shipping costs to be sure.
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.

Buffalo Horn back strips

Take a look at the catalogue entry for "full horns". If you don't have the facilities to cut the back strip from the horn then we can do this for you at no extra charge. You receive the "back strip" material with it's natural internal and external surfaces, 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 generous 50mm in width, and your specified length on the outer arc.
Photo shows backstrip removed by bandsawing from typical , suitable horn. We can forward either "just" the strips ( to save carriage costs ) or strip plus offcuts where carriage costs are suitable to to you.

White Buffalo / Ox horn points for nocks

Very attractive colours in these 3" ( average ) horn points and may be used as nocks that have an appearance dramatically different from the standard black buffalo horn so often seen.

Very light coloured centres diffusing out into straw / greeny outer graining.
Very sound material indeed.
