    Potassium permagnate or however its spelled it’s a purple powder you get from taxidermy supply. You add paint thinner and rub it on with a cotton ball. It looks purple but in about 2 minutes it’s oxidizes and is the most real color I’ve seen out of all the other treatments. Just use steel wool to fade where needed

    Yeah the potassium permanganate works best for the natural look and is available online and at stores that sell koi fish pond supplies - it's cheap and it's an oxidizer so wear gloves or you'll have brown hands for a few days! You can apply more coats for a darker brown. Just mix with a small amount of water and coat with rag. Plus it seals the horn and when buffed goes to a nice shine - even when hand buffed with a polishing rag
    ^^^^^^^^^^^Best results!

    I personally use Minwax Provincial color. Works good and easy.

                I wish I could remember where I got it, but it is the taxidermist stuff. More of a paint than a stain. Nothing else worked for me, at least not to my satisfaction. Not the coffee, the stains, the oils, nothing. But the taxidermist paint stuff was perfect.
