The first post is always scary. There is a heck of a lot of hesitation about placing photos of my work among those of more accomplished artisans. Nonetheless, here are photos of a smallish flattened horn. The carving is minimal. The base plug is oak. The stopper was turned from a hard wood dowel. The engraving is more of a contemporary style featuring a couple of Gulf Coast residents. It was primarily done using a stippling technique. My wife says the crab looks like the Darth Vader version. Thanks for looking.

Second look, I'm from Blue Crab country that Crab looks like a Stone Crab, being Gulf Coast I take it it is.
To me it looks evil but I know they taste Good. You did a Wonderful job on the Horse Shoe Crab. Once again Well done.

Curtis... Your flattened horn is very nice. I love the layout and design. Your stippling or scrimshaw is is exceptional. If you are just a beginner my friend I can't wait til you get another year under your belt.
Kind Regards

Wow I love your art work. It takes my back to being a kid walking around with a bucket and a crab net nutzing around the salt marshes and docks. I'm normally not a fan of contemporary art on horns, this time I love it. BJH
