White horns
« on: June 05, 2007, 07:03:46 AM »
I let my horns set out too long in the sun tring to let the meat rot off but they got kinda bleached. What can I do to put some color back in them?

A 50/50 mix of linseed oil and turpentine will give it a natural look.

Forgot to add a little Minwax dark walnut stain in with the 50/50 mix of linseed oil and turpentine.

the easiest way is to use old English scratch cover for dark wood. just rub it on let dry, if you want then darker do it again. you can find old English at just about any store.
