I have been looking for a place to buy raw horns to make drinking horns but I can not find a place that sells them..... Can anyone help??

Thanks in advance.
 
Thanks!!!! So far this looks like a great site!!!! Also you can find them on Ebay believe it or not.. I have a phone number that I am going to try tomorrow and I will post the results here along with the number if things are as they seem.

Thanks again!!
 
I belong to a group of Buckskinners, so I do alot of horn work. ;D Here is where I get mine from, and he has horns of all different sizes from small to humongous. http://www.powderhornsandmore.com/polished-cow-horns.html

The core is already removed from the horn and are ready to be made into powder horns. If you want to make a drinking horn, scrub it out some more. I like to use stiff brushes of different sizes, even down to a brass .32 cal cleaning brush for a gun to clean the tip. Afterwards, I prop the horn up, drop a couple of efferdent tablets in and fill with water and let sit over night. I then scrub it again, and put clorox and some water in and let sit overnight again. Scrub it out real good, and you should be good to go. You can line it with something if you wish, but I have never lined any of my horns. I never had a problem with smell or the horn affecting taste.
