I decided to go ahead and repair using period like materials, rawhide, beezwax and linen thread.
I first filled the chew area with beezwax and let it set up good and hard.
Fellow TMA brother Rondo was kind enough to send me some deer rawhide, which is much thinner and easier to work with than cattle rawhide, thanks Rondo!
ridjrunr:
The method was very straight forward, measure and cut out the 7"x1" pc of rawhide, soak in warm water for a few minutes, punch some holes and lace it up! I also put a 1"x1" pc of rawhide underneath the seam where the lacing is. As it was drying it was clear it would tighten up and form around the juncture of the horn to base plug.
