In this article, we will mainly talk about how bullhorn glasses are made. Due to the unique nature of the material, cowhorn glasses come from nature and are a pure natural material. Moreover, due to the hard and brittle nature of cowhorn material, it is difficult to process through traditional eyewear techniques. So, the processing difficulty of corner glasses is much higher. Let’s take a brief look at the manufacturing process of corner glasses together.
Ox horn is a pure natural material that has medicinal effects such as clearing heat and detoxifying, nourishing yin and cooling blood, lowering blood pressure, and removing rheumatism. It is beneficial to the human body. Eyewear made from ox horns is called Buffalo horn eyewear. The cowhorn eyewear frame is made of pure natural cowhorn material, without any chemical components, and is a product that combines traditional craftsmanship and modern technology. Ox horn glasses do not produce allergies or static electricity when in contact with human skin, and are irreplaceable for metal eyewear and acetate eyewear frames. Moreover, ox horn eyewear frames are completely handmade and meticulously crafted, making them rare in the market and therefore very precious. Because of this, many eyewear merchants have adopted cowhorn as a new material for eyewear manufacturing.
Bullhorn glasses are becoming increasingly popular among consumers in the market, and they hold enormous market potential. The horn material itself is not shiny, but after traditional polishing methods, the surface of the horn glasses looks smooth and fine, with a very textured feel. Whether it’s yellow cowhorn glasses or hawksbill style cowhorn glasses, they have a comfortable feel and a moist color. Each pair of cowhorn glasses legs will have more or less black or blood mottled colors, and because cowhorn is a pure natural material, its color is also pure natural, so the color of each pair of glasses is not exactly the same. Black cowhorn glasses are generally made of water buffalo horns, with a relatively moist and loose texture. When held in hand or viewed under light, natural textures can be seen. Although they are somewhat similar to plate glasses, there are still significant differences in texture. Glasses made from pure natural ox horns are a product of traditional craftsmanship and modern technology, integrating health functions and art collection. They are the best gift for self wearing and giving to loved ones. Therefore, ox horn glasses frames are deeply loved by consumers.
There are three main processes involved in the production of cowhorn glasses, which are briefly introduced as follows:
The first process is to break the saw horn. Firstly, the sharp corner of the horizontal saw is 15 centimeters, and then the vertical saw is broken to form a tile shape. After being heated at high temperature, it can be flattened by hydraulic pressure. Then, a table saw is used to cut it into circumferential specifications and the concave and convex surfaces are ground off with a grinding wheel.
The second process is to create the inner and outer ring shapes. The process is the same as making rubber plate glasses, relying on a template for positioning. The material of the horn is very brittle, requiring a lathe speed of 4800 rpm, and using a special tungsten steel knife for production and processing.
The third process is handmade. Ox horn glasses are handmade products, so the process of making them by hand is crucial and requires personnel with a special understanding of the performance of ox horns. In this process, treating the surface unevenness of the material, such as sanding, crushing the head, pressing the center beam, and splicing leaves, are all the most critical steps in the production of corner glasses. Mastering the process and details can reflect the perfection of the single piece glasses process. Corner glasses, like plate glasses, also need to go through several processes such as barrel rolling and polishing to make the surface smooth and flat. The difference is that horn glasses cannot be inserted with pins or hinged. Horn glasses are made of natural materials, and due to the age of the keratin, there may be some shrinkage errors in the final process of mounting. Therefore, left and right comparisons need to be made during grinding, which further increases the difficulty of manufacturing horn glasses.
Overall, manufacturing cowhorn glasses is much more difficult than traditional metal glasses, titanium frame glasses, plate glasses, etc. The materials are all pure natural, and the price is much more precious than traditional metal or plate glasses. The loss during the manufacturing process is also significant. Therefore, a pair of finely crafted cowhorn glasses also has a relatively high cost. It is a product formed by traditional craftsmanship and modern technology, integrating health functions and art collection. It is the best gift for self wearing and giving to loved ones, and is synonymous with high-end glasses.
