Bowie????

[was4u]

just returned from HI site. Is/has the HI bowie gonna happen? Info would be great.Also what's the best way to protect buffalo horn handles?

 

[Bill Martino]

It happened. Three prototypes which did not exactly meet design criteria. Ten more are in the works at present -- made using a wood mockup supplied by Yvsa for a model.

Was4u, the best treatment for horn handles is commercial hood lubricant. I believe there are a few other methods to treat horn, but this is the one I remember. Any other methods, guys?

[was4u]

thanks! let me know when you have them in production. Any thoughts on horn care?I've sealed my HI with Bircxhwood-Casey's Tru Oil(linseed oilw/a little turpentine). Oregon's wet winters and dry summers(sometimes)can play havoc on naturals.

 

[Bill Martino]

OK, will do. We might be seeing some by year's end. Stay tuned.

I think Big Bob meant to say "commercial HOOF lubricant". Normally I don't correct such matters but the info seemed relatively important...we all typo around here.

Typos are why you see so many of my posts edited. Thanks, Jim.
