OP Hoot4570 Sidelock Joined: Nov 2014 Posts: 349 Likes: 12 Diversityville, Liberal-sota	What is the approximate length of a horn forearm tip? I wish my finished forearm to be 10-12" on a somewhat English style stock. I have horn blocks available from Joe D. and need to figure out where to cut the wood. Thank you!

It seems to unglue itself sometimes. _________ BrentD, (Professor - just for Stan) =>/

Probably used white wood glue back then? I don't own any of these, each built for a client. [ URL=https://imageshack.com/i/pni0rHAuj][/URL]
