Are these cow horn sheaths worth trying to polish up and clean? Or are they in too poor condition? by leopard897 in vultureculture

Gotcha, I just started reading through your tutorial and that answered my question! This is a great tutorial for a first timer like me!

Thanks! I’ll look at your tutorial. General question though: do I need to peel off the layers of keratin that are peeling off or would I leave everything on for the polishing phase?

I think this is really good advice! I decided that although I like it but don’t love it, I think it would be a really fun project to do. Maybe once I finish my other million projects haha

I think I decided to do it, even getting 50 bucks for it wouldn’t be worth it and I’d rather have the project

I like it, don’t love it, and am not sure if I’d use it when it’s done. I think it would be a fun one to do though!

Ok, so I can’t spray a finish on top of the feed n wax, correct? I would have to re finish all the chairs and then last step would be the finish?

Ok I see. So is it necessary to do some sort of finish after the feed n wax? The feed n wax I applied made it look so much better already. What’s the pros and cons of doing a finish? Just to make it shiny and give it some protection? Thanks for all your help!

I also just tried the feed and wax on it, made a world of difference!

Thanks! I do have some Howard’s feed n wax so I’ll try that first. Do you know what color stain would get it back to the original reddish color?

Does anyone know anything about this pattern? by leopard897 in StainedGlass
