Preserving 20,000 year old bison horn

Well, I finally did it! I prepared my solution of Butvar 76 in Acetone and pour it in, over and around this puppy. Now it is drying. Better pictures to come once it dries out a bit.

Here are a couple photos of the horn. I think I will get a display case built for it as it will be a certain dust gatherer with the rough exterior. Butvar 76 worked great on it but I did finish the exterior with a clear satin finish spray lacquer.
