    Your lucky to have a copy of that booklet,- not many are about now. I used to have one off Norman, i used to know him and was at his home, seeing all his stick collection. Amazing.

    Fresh rams horns need to be seasoned for a year,- then you can knock out the pith (centre core ). Then they are ready to work on. I'm sure you will enjoy making the sticks.
