<p>[QUOTE="Kelly Graziano, post: 13038924, member: 86665"]I noticed the texture as well. I wonder if that could have happened after it was carved -- do smooth horns become crusty like this? There is a portion of the horn that is smooth, but that's not where they carved. I looked for areas where the carving sat on top of damage, which would indicate fresh carving on an old horn, and did find a few spots. What do you think?
