Suppliers of horn

[jdlenton]

Right guys here’s hoping you can point me in the right direction I’ve had a Google around today and can’t find what I’m looking forso:-

I want a couple of hole water buffalo horn preferably from some where inside the uk as I don’t fancy paying too much shipping any ideas ?

And while I’m here where can I find reindeer, red deer and cow from too I’ve seen some stuff on the Brisa site but don’t really want to go there again, as I have said I would like it to be in the uk and if i can order online that would be great too.

Don't know of a supplier but recall seeing a local midlands news article about a guy is farming them in the midlands area so try googling water buffalo breeders might lead somewhere useful

James, drop moduser a PM and ask where he got his buffalo horn from, I'll have to have a think about deer antler I saw some at a site I visited a couple of weeks ago and I have a feeling the link that took me there was on here.

Try here http://www.english-longbow.co.uk/cat20.htm#arrowsmaterials, might have to scrol around a bit. I did speak to a water buffalo breeder at my local farmers market about buying some horn and bone. They said the abbatoir won't let them have the heads back due to BSE regs!

Attleborough Accessories do antler and I think buffalo horn.
