I am looking for a place to buy high quality horn for horn bow making. Water buff or watusi will be good.Interested in any or all horn.PM me or post up what you know,my old supply is no more. Thanks a bunch.

Not sure if this is what your looking for Chuck but Crazycrow.com has buffalo horn. :campfire:
I'm looking for sawn 36 inch Osage Billets. Anyone know where I can get them?
I am thinking about the asian type of buffalo. I had a contact for hatbone.com but the site no longer will come up,they had strips of horn ready for bow building. The American Bison horn is to short for what I need. Thanks though Mike. That is a neat site,Lots of cool stuff.
Chuck, check e-bay. Go to sports, then do a search for buffalo horn.
I looked on the bay some but not many bigger pieces. I will look more. Thanks Roy

Isn't there a guy in the Philipeans that sells Asian buff horns. His name is Pete. I bet Google knows him.
You might also check out Yumi Bows. Jaap makes Asian style bows and was always a good source for horn tips for ELB's.
I have a friend that supplies me horn from Thailand and i use it only for composite bows,He hand picks matching pairs.I am going to be getting some horn shortly and can get some extra if you are interested.
You might try archeryhornproducts@aik,in
Mike Westvang (Wingnut) at Dryad used to do watusi horn on some of his bows. Might give him a shout.
Gemsbuk is another option. Very easy to get and fairly inexpensive. Just a bit more work to flatten.
As allways, your right, Pat:) The guy in the Philipeans is Peter Cua. petercua287@hotmail.com Another supplier is Highland Horn in Scotland. www.highlandhorn.com (http://www.highlandhorn.com)
Do not use bleached or brown ones, they can be britle + old, and are not good for hornbows.
Gemsbok is fairly easy, John has a good tutorial down in how to section.
