horn storage
« on: June 18, 2018, 12:32:32 pm »
I was re-sawing some of my water buffalo horn off-cuts and found one was host to 3 borers.  I've binned it. Any advice on how to treat my remaining stock to prevent infestation and/or kill off any other borers I my have missed?

Yikes.  I just store mine indoors, but I would suspect you could just store them with some borax and it would prevent bug damage

I agree with Aaron.  I keep my animal parts in a tub with borax in the bottom.  I've had no problems with bugs or borers.
