Sheep Horn?

[UffDa]

Does anyone know where I might get some sheep horn that doesn't involve buying the whole sheep?

I'm not sure if this is a serious question or not...but assuming it is.

Any knifemaking supply house can get some to you.

Look here for some ideas

Good luck,

With the prices of the sheep horn today, it may be less expensive to buy the whole sheep...

Yes, it's a serious question. I wrote to Ed Fowler a couple of years ago regarding the purchase of sheep horn. He told me that he buys the whole sheep. Most of them are on their last legs and some arrive already at room temperature.

Since I live in a residential area, I don't think a whole dead sheep would go over very well.

Thanks for the tips.

I've got a whole head (skull) that I was going to clean up and use for display until my labrador broke out of his kennel one night in the shop and jumped up 7 feet to the top shelf and chewed the front of the face off! I've got lots of handle material now.....darn dog!

I won't sell you any sheep horn but if anyone wants a dog, let me know!
