I get mine already polished but I always end up sanding spots on them up to 400 grit and then use 0000 steel wool then spray them with a clear coat
This is only my 4th one I have ever messed with a while back I put some elk antler on where I cut the tip off and put closed reed in them

Thanks for the comments

Bill,

Nice looking howler and you have done a nice job finishing it off. Be thankful that you got the horn already sanded. I bought a couple of buffalo horns years ago for powder horns and after taking a look at them sent them back. They looked like a pine cone with all the layers lifted. Shows how much I knew at the time - they looked just like the ones that were on walking buffalo.
