About the Event
Buffalo Horn Spoon Workshop
This is a rare opportunity to use Buffalo Horn and to learn the complete process of making horn spoons, starting with the whole horn, which is rather rough to begin with - so lots of sanding and scraping to get the outer surface of the horn smooth and clear. Then we will cut and form and shape beautiful horn spoons of Buffalo Horn.
Heating the horn makes it very pliable; once formed, it is quenched in cold water to harden in the shape you form. The same spoon can be heated and formed several times for the perfect shape. Each horn has its own special characteristics that will lead to ideas of bird handles or sheep head handles. Buffalo horn has a beautiful, distinctive warm black color, unlike anything you have ever seen.
