My Dad passed away a few years ago and I now have all his old horns. I plan on keeping some that have a special meaning to me but there are alot of them. I probably have 25 or so that range in the 14-16 inch spread that I just have no place for. Any suggestions on what I could do with all these horns?

Make a chandalier (how do you spell that?).

If you didn't want to make anything there are people on eBay that buy them to make stuff like knife handles and such. That way you could get a little money back

You could make them into cabinet and drawer pulls. You might trade or sell them to someone who turns them into pens. I have seen some really cool pens.

Get you some angled shelf brackets and some 1x6's for shelving. Paint or stain the shelves and bracket and mount each rack to the shelf with some space in between them. If you have any info on them as far as year, date, ranch, etc then add that on a card for each one.

I turn pens, but I also have all the antler I need. Make knives, earrings, key chains, a chandelier. Make some money off them. Or like mentioned above sell them on eBay. I've seen lamps, and candle holders from a single antler alone.

There is a pretty good market for them on Ebay.
