BLH Posted May 4, 2006 Report Share Posted May 4, 2006 Re: staining horns If you use a stain, use a very light one. Medium to dark stains will not turn out well. I stained an 8 pointers sheds I found a couple of years ago with a medium stain and they turned out way too dark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Michelles_Taxidermy Posted May 4, 2006 Report Share Posted May 4, 2006 Re: staining horns Use MIN-WAX stain. Use Dark Walnut. apply a coat and let it set for a little while and than DAB it off. if you wipe it won't look right. the stain will get removed from the natural groves and pits in the antler....
