Buffalo horn - can get them here - the one's you have are polished and does'nt take much to do that. Quote my very own world within the darkest of corners at ebay
Contributing Member UKRay Posted April 20, 2009 Author Contributing Member Report Posted April 20, 2009 So how would you polish them, Paul? BTW: These are almost completely black rather than the brown colour of the ones in the picture. troy said: Buffalo horn - can get them here - the one's you have are polished and does'nt take much to do that.

Arturo Posted April 20, 2009 Report Posted April 20, 2009 Ray: +1 Water buff horns come in a variety of colors from nearly gray, to brown, to the black like in the photos you posted. Arturo Quote
Members troy Posted April 20, 2009 Members Report Posted April 20, 2009 You could either use the polishing compounds on the same site - here. or I got a kit off evilbay . They do start off brownish but turn black when polished - but you will need a mask of some sort because of the fume/dust created - it's poisonous apparently.
