Bees wax is what many of us horners use to protect the horn from cracking and moths. Yes, moths. You keep your khuk in a drawer for long periods of time, or even have it hanging as a wall display for long periods of time, do not be surprised one day if you pick up your khuk and find pits on the un-exposed side of the handle. They were chewed there by hungry, small, winged critters that definitely deserve to be squashed after chowing down on your $700 antique mapped powder horn or fav KLVUK.

Thanks Bookie So if the cracks don’t seem like they’ll sand/scrape out, I think you’re saying try CA or epoxy? It might not be permanent but won’t hurt anything... Then oil soak and wax, and watch out for moths? Doug
