how to do a horn mount.

OK today we are going to look at how to do a horn mount; first we cut the skull at the base of the horns, normally just the top of the skull. Then we drill two holes in each horn, just with a 4mm drill bit and then boil the whole thing. After all that’s done we soak just the skull part of the horns in H2O2 hydrogen peroxide for about a week. This should give the skull the whitens you want. When all this is dry, fill the holes you made in the horns with clay and paint them the color of the horn. Now the horns are ready to be mounted on the wood or what ever other stand you want, finish this off by varnishing the horns to bring out the natural color, and then varnish the remaining skull.
