SMP CoLab Exclusive
Begun in 1749, Abbeyhorn is the last horn manufacturing business in the UK and one of a few companies left in the world preserving this ancient art.
Their collaboration with SMP resulted in this Scottish Red Deer Antler Whistle Kit, which allows you to saw, sand, shape and polish your own whistle from this unusual and captivating material.
We visited them at their factory in Holme, Lancashire to find out how, and why, they do what they do...
Many thanks to film maker Sapphire Goss of Planet Caravan
