Horn restoration
A good friend of mine has some gemsbok horns that are a little grey/weathered looking and wanted to know if there is something she can put on them to "restore" them. Any ideas?

Mix turpentine/boiled lineseed oil in a 50/50 mix and paint it on them. They'll turn dark instantly. Wipe off any residual and the remainder will soak into the horns overnight.
