I am practicing putting a horn forend tip on a Mauser stock. I've got two issues, one is voids on the tip and the other is shown in the
picture here

I don't know the right terminology, but it looks like I've exposed a boundary between two laminated sections. Has anyone ever deal with this
before successfully? I've been thinking that coating the area with a clear expoxy and sanding it down may be the way to go.

Fred, I think super glue will fix this void, quickly.

I use epoxy colored to match the surrounding area to repair those kind of voids and delaminations and have had good results.

Thanks, I had tried superglue without success, today I tried epoxy, I put it on before work and sanded it after. My
thumbnail now slides over the delamination area without on the edge Thank you so much SKB.

I did move away from using cow horn for repairs and replacements in favor of Water Buffalo horn. It has a lot of things going for it . you can obtain it in jet black or black with fine white streaks, though the best points are that it carves and shapes like Ivory with no delamination's or internal splits plus it is really hard, you tat turn it on a lathe like metal. It has become more available on this side of the pond because of the growing Mozzarella Cheese usage.

What does water buffalo horn have to do with Mozzarella?

Maybe, look up Mozzarella di bufala? That's supposed to the original good stuff, I'd imagine regular water buf, probably in not so exotic places, makes for a trendy substitute. The milk farmers probably have a side market in the craft industry?

Mozzarella is made from water buffalo milk.
