<<< Does anyone know of a supplier of horse hair in Australia? I'm
particularly after lengths suitable for a music bow.

Funnily enough I know one, but they are in the US. Windrose armoury can help
you... they supply the horse tails for my helm. They can supply immediately,
just drop them an email.

For antlers and hides check out http://www.clawantlerhide.com/. They also have some bones.
I know Master Rolant likes to get all of his cow horns from mountain man gatherings and rendezvous so he can inspect them for quality. I don't know where he gets antlers or bone at (especially the giraffe bone) but I can ask him if you'd like.
Another one possibly worth checking out is Moscow hide & fur (http://www.hideandfur.com/) they have antlers, horns, and a variety of bones as well. one other source I've found for cow horns online is http://www.woodenhawk.com/Catalog/tabid/52/CategoryID/39/List/1/Level/a/ProductID/382/Default.aspx?SortField=ProductName%2CProductName. Tandy sells cow horns, but they are not the best quality if you are wanting to carve them (a wee thin) if you wanted to scrimshaw or just seal & go they would probably be fine.
Let me know if you have any questions.

These guys always vend at Pennsic. I have known them for years from the Mountain Man/Native American circuit. They are a great source for hides, bone, antler etc.
