    Your lucky to have a copy of that booklet,- not many are about now. I used to have one off Norman, i used to know him and was at his home, seeing all his stick collection. Amazing.

Norman and most other stickdressers up this way, use Windsor & Newton Inks, on the horn, so that the horn can still be seen under the colouring. Its much better than paint.

    Fresh rams horns need to be seasoned for a year,- then you can knock out the pith (centre core ). Then they are ready to work on. I'm sure you will enjoy making the sticks. Two bits of half steel pipes are used, about 3 or 4 inches long, for squeezing up the handpiece, when the horn has been heated or boiled.

    Why not, its much easier when you learn how to work the horn. Good thick rams horn is like gold dust now, very difficult to get hold of, but if you get one, you can make a real nice carved stick. Its all practice,- same for everyone. Your doing ok
