Kudu horn restoration

[Samantha]

Mounting a Kudu , and the horns were over boiled, cracked and lifeless.
Having never mounted a Kudu before, let alone attempt horn repair to such a damaged specimen, I wanted to give it 110%.

Below is some pictures of the horns journey through their transformation.

@Samantha looks good. Looks like the beeswax treatment. It works for any horned animal.

Yes i followed R.L. Reinert's method that he shared on the Taxinet site. I just mixed it up a little with a few more ingredients.

Nice work! Ted has always done mine but my current hog deer pedestal mount is about $1000. Can't afford him anymore, hate to think what the red I have to mount would be.
