Title: New Howler Going Out
Post by: THO Game Calls on May 23, 2007, 06:39:44 PM
I shamelessly stole a little from HuntNCarve, BradH and maybe a few others who use this technique - but I think it came out fairly well.

Cowhorn and Blackwood tip

DAMN Al
that thing is to damn purtty for me to even take out and use  :bowingsmilie: it is SHINEY and NIIICCCEEEEE
Now I have a question,IF you want to answer it,how the hell do you guys get that shine on there? what do you put on before you hit the buffing wheel ? If it is a secret no problem there either BUT that howler is NICEEEEE  :yoyo:

I don't know what the other guys use, but I used good old elbow greese on that one.   I started at 120 grit sandpaper and then went through them all, 150, 180, 220, 320, 400, and finally 600 and then put it on a tripoli buffing wheel followed by a white diamond wheel and fianlly some renasaunce wax and a light buff. 

Nothing to it save for about 3 hours of sanding LOL.

Al,

As soon as you find that "quick fix" where you can just have a raw horn lay there and in a few minutes it looks like that one, let me know.  I will publish the technique and we will both be rich.  How does a 75% 25% split sound?  You get the 75%.
