For custom orders people can choose any combination of available materials, though I am not likely to use horn. I find that blackwood or ebony is in some way a better substitute, as it moves less than horn, so in winter months, you won't have a spacer to protrude as much if you had a horn ferrule.
Blackwood or ebony doesn't stabilize well (to jugge by little weight change before and after stabilizing). Both polish to a pretty nice luster, a notch less than horn.
