Seems like a good price when facing cutting a chunk of horn, boiling until soft, pressing to cool and dry flat, then shaping.

yes, I have made walking sticks, got into it - the Scottish ones I bought with horn seemed easy, but working with horn is not easy !

But if you take your time, the effort is excellent - I never got good at it, used antler for walking stick handles instead
