This is the second shape that I made, as you can see this one is polished and this is one of the reasons why I love this material. It has an amazing shine, you can wear a buffalo horn frame for a long time and then have it polished once again and it will look like it has never been worn. Although this frame is black, it does not appear visibly heavy, soon I will have another color which is honey brown and maybe a cream almost white. Both of these two colors will be translucent and after polishing you can see more variation of patterns within the frame.
