Our old Highland matriarch died last year and we've kept her horns. I'd like to get them carved or etched?! Can't remember the name of the process but it's how the pirates and seamen of old used to draw on whales teeth, ivory etc. Is anyone able to perhaps suggest a contact? I'm in Sth Canterbury. Thank you

:oYep that's the one, scrimshaw. I'd love to have that done if possible but I know there aren't many people who have the knack or the skill and know how - pity really. I'd love to have a Highland bull and cow etched on one horn, and a calf on the other.
Thanks for that, Hawkspur.

Brilliant idea, Westie - however I'm not an arty person even when it comes to using stencils etc. My sister got all the arty bits dished out in our family

Good exercise for the heart is to bend down and help someone up. Anon.

Haha, Jimari - just what I was thinking. But what a special thing to have as a memory, CHB. Great idea, and good luck with persuading your sister
Cheers, Mich.
