How best to preserve an animal%26#039;s freshly cut horns?
If they are still %26quot;in velvet%26quot;(still growing /like deer horns) then put them in a tub of Boraxo and cover them in it. leave them there for about three days to one week then take them out and brush them off and salt the ends where you cut them off...........If they are just regular horns.........no Velvet...........just salt the ends down for now...............about every six months......rub a lite coat of mineral oil on the horns........It allows them to breath so they don%26#039;t deteriorate from the inside out and it also protects the outside of them form the junk in the air that breaks them down over time. if you keep them out of the sun they will last forever !
