I agree. Only thing I thought of was a knife maker looking for handle material? Some other art project?

 

[Ontario Hunter]

I understand some sect(s) of Jewish faith have a ceremony involving curled horn (as in making a horn to blow through) and kudu is sought after for that purpose. Perhaps something to do with the walls of Jerico? I think it's as good a use as any for surplus kudu horn. They are not an endangered species (in some places a pest) and this obscure limited use is not likely to create any significant demand for their horns.

Jewish Shofar horns are supposed to be made of goat, but I've seen many that were definitely kudu horns. If you poke around the Internet you may find dealers.

Generally ram rookhawk . I did a google search or kudu shofar and apparently it’s a thing in Yemen

They look pretty nice for entry way lamps....turned upside down and with an ostrich egg type bulb above the base. I'm gonna take a course in comparative religion at the nearby Uni and learn something of Jewish rituals (and Pagan Magic) some day, but the lamps are the only reason I can think of now. Or maybe he wants the cores...........?.........FWB

They make excellent wall lamps.

Lots of lamps and things made from kudu horns at SCI.

A shofar (/ʃoʊˈfɑːr/ shoh-FAR; from שׁוֹפָר‎, pronounced [ʃoˈfaʁ] ⓘ) is an ancient musical horn typically made of a ram's horn, used for Jewish religious purposes. Like the modern bugle, the shofar lacks pitch-altering devices, with all pitch control done by varying the player's embouchure. The shofar is blown in synagogue services on Rosh Hashanah and at the end of Yom Kippur; it is also blown every weekday morning in the month of Elul running up to Rosh Hashanah.[1] Shofars come in a variety of sizes and shapes, depending on the choice of animal and level of finish.

You are correct. However, around the markets in Jerusalem you will find that almost all of what is being sold is definitely kudu.

There is a place in Jacksonville, Florida that sells lots of African taxidermy and parts like bones, skins and horns. Let me dig around and I’ll post the name.

That's same place I was going to send them to but OP never came back to answer where they were located or how big horns they wanted. Atlantic Corral Imports only have small to medium horns and won't be much good if OP isn't in the US.

The Boy Scouts also use a kudu horn for their "Wood Badge" ceremony, which is a training program for leaders:

Jip for this reason
