cracked horn

[Harold1950]

I just bought a nice cow horn. It has a small crack on the inside running from the point approximately 4 inches or so towards the base. The crack does not go all the way through the horn. Can the horn be sealed or glued or epoxied? Or is the crack okay as long as it does not go all the way through the horn? Thanks for your help......Harold1950

Harold, you can always plug a crack, but it might be pretty unattractive, and you'll have invested a good deal of work that'll be wasted if the crack progresses to wear a patch or a plug won't work. If I were you, I'd just get another horn. Hank
