Horn Query
Grinding down the outer arc of horn.
Where the horn is thickest by the tips and I have more choice in removing matter should I grind off more material from the inside or outside of the arc?
Which way around should I orientate my W.B. horn once it has been steamed and ground flat into a nice laminate? I?m presuming I should glue it so the pre-steamed curvature follows the recurve of the bow, tip of the horns at the tips of the core?
Thanks in advance for any advice.

You should keep the thick top end under handle. The thin base under kasan. Horn have memory and will try to go back so the core reflex should be as the horn was from beginning.
Hi Dylan,
I prefer to grind the outer side of horn. Is more brittle and sometimes there are crosswise cracks going deep, nearly unvisible. The healthiest horn is near the boneplug of the animal.
