[Northkeep] Hunting Horns

[Jennifer Carlson]

And the dust can be hell on your sinuses.  If you're carving with a knife, it's not an issue.  A light sanding and beeswax should be sufficient for finishing.  Let me know if you want instructions on cleaning out the inside or getting rid of a core (it can be a little gruesome).
