Morning, just about finished these three sticks , rams horn crook on a blackthorn shank , good solid stick , turned out better than thought it would, middle one is buffalo on a dog rose briar shank , light stick , small horn , lastly a rams horn market stick , carved phesant head , just finished colouring it ,wait till it dries ,then seal it with a satin finish....hope you like..

Basic , but works

Home made press , and set of bulking blocks , various sizes, trust me not as easy as it sounds..

Once bulked , used a heat gun to bend on a jig , rams horn lot softer than buffalo, easily scorches , lot easier to bend...

Sorry , I'm out of the country for a month now ..

Cheers gents ,just really starting to get into rams horn as buffalo is hard to find & expensive these days , that took a week to bulk the horn , 2 days to bend & shape nose & 2 hrs to fit & finish, the shank took nearly a week to get the thing straight! Last one for awhile, away now for a month, cabelas & bass pro on the horizon!

Evening , just about finished this crook , horn is clear of cracks& splits , solid top , nose a little out ! Sanded, wet& dried, polished on the mop , fitted on dark hazel shank , on the whole fairly pleased with it ,all a learning curve....

I have got an mtc mamba for sale, its the 4a type ret , fine cross with a dot in the centre , scope is overall good condition, been used on my fac air , only niggle is a couple of light marks on the front tube ,where a picatinny rail was fitted for a torch ,comes with a sunshade & flip up cover , asking £120 posted ,cheers ...

Cheers , they have grown on me too , I've passed the first one onto the keeper I got the horns off , both apparently off the same animal,think he's after the second one ,for a pair, they are comfy in the hand .

Afternoon, the second curly crook, this one left hand curl , was a fair bit harder to bulk than the last one , pushed the curl further in , horn got a bit of colour, on a chocolate brown hazel shank , tapers well, turned out quite well...

Cheers , it's different, seen a few , but never made one, going to try another with the other matching horn ,may push the curl in a bit so doesn't stick out as much..

Evening, first one I've ever made , rams horn curly crook , small horn ,bulked well , not sure of the curl or to my taste , but comfy in the hand on a hazel shank ...cheers

Just knocked this up for one of the keepers , story of the horn was getting thrown out , looks like its been left out in the elements , going rotten & skanky, the keeper rescued the pair , said would have a go & make him a stick , after a lot of filing , uncurling& bulking managed to get enough solid horn for a market stick , fitted on a mottled hazel shank, should do him....

Glad your happy with them , that was the last of my buffalo..

Length varies , the two together are 49 inch , brass one longer ,obviously yellow spacers one shorter.

Last of the buffalo, all a bit challenging in there own way , 3 on blackthorn & one on hazel , various spacers for decoration, thanks for looking...

Everything stick related has gone stupid in price ,especially after highland horn , finished trading , buffalo horn ,if you find any was about £12 a piece for grade A , now trades anywhere between 20-40+ £ a piece, ferrules , used to be 50p tops now about £1.50 , that's for a basic ferrule, antler gone stupid prices as well , easiest way for spacers is to cast them out of resin ,colour them to your taste ! Rams horn is another kettle of fish , going to need a set of bulking blocks press etc , quite a big investment for sure in expense & time ! Harvest your own shanks ......
