Reviving shed horns

What’s the procedure for reviving chalky shed horns? Thanks, Brice

Chalky is a problem but if just faded you would be amazed what you can do with a little brown shinola pollish and a rag.

Turn back time. Seriously, there is nothing you can do.

Look up white bone creations on YouTube I used his process on my chalk antlers and it worked great once I got good at it you can’t even tell they sat in the elements for years!

Old English furniture polish is what I use. If they're super chalky, try a water based stain thinned down a little. If you stain, do it before the furniture polish though.

I just use a light wood stain. It works fine.

I've used the liquid Kiwi brown shoe polish....,.

This.
He has a formula he uses to fill in all the cracks and seals them up so they can be stained.

What are you wanting to do with them? It is possible to make them look fresh again but it takes a little work..

If you get them back from the chalky state use a natural method to get the color back in them.
I used liquid pine tar and branches and dirt to bring this elk rack back from dead head find to natural. Just put a thin layer of pine tar then rub it with branches and dark dirt. Let the pine tar set the bark and dirt on the antlers before rubbing on them.

Very impressive^^ great job on that! Turned out dang near perfect.

It takes time but it's the same way the animals do it. Not really hard at all.
The chalky part is what I would be interested to see how you bring those back.

Coffee grounds worked well for one that I did
