In this country? I've spoken to horn workers & they have to import horns, mainly from Africa, due to the BSE regs. I understand it is possible, but involves a lot of paperwork. Spoon looks good, btw, I wish I could use my cow horns.

I was told that it is classified as SRM and wasn't worth the paperwork to cut them off. The only way I could do it was to get the vet to take them off beforehand, but even that should really be disposed off appropriately. If I could find out what hoops I'd have to jump through to get them, that'd be great - would quite like a set to hang my coat on...

That is truly a work of art! But, I'm puzzled. Using it in the woods? Will heat affect the shape? I must say I have an appreciation for your creativity! Thank you for sharing your project
