My father in law is a seasoned veteran of making knives with different types of wood and bone/antler handles. Last night he gave me a chunk of buffalo horn that i was kicking around making a replacement nut and saddle for my two ukes.
Any thoughts? Both the nuts and saddles on my ukes now look to be plastic that came out of a mold... so I will need to cut and shape, etc. But as far as material goes, anyone think that buffalo horn might not make for a good nut/saddle combo? It seems very dense and it just really pretty.
Anyway, thought I'd throw it out there and see what people say.
thanks.
