Here is my first experience with buffalo horn. Not bad, tends to crack and splinter a bit while turning it. The blank I got from a friend, and to do the statesman, I had to drill on the lathe using 25mm jaws to hold the blank, so I could ensure I got dead center. Even then, it was a hold-your-breath type drilling. I think he said he got the blank from PSI, it was one of the pre-rounded ones. No room for error when drilling this stuff, that's for sure. I'm actually in a dilemna, I turned this for a craft show next weekend, but now I don't know if I want to part with it!! Anyway, comments/critiques welcome.
