It seemed like this horn just wouldn't go away. It took me way too much time to complete with my busy schedule. You ever have a project that just won't go away? This was the one for me. The customer was surprised with all of the artwork on it. It will be nice to see his face when I hand it to him. He pretty much let me do what came to my head. Hope you all like it.

The horn as a whole is excellant; I love the crazy eyed sun, and the little nicks you put in the staples. I am very partial to map horns especially, and I like all the different designs on this one!

Thanks Rasch! The map is of the area where the customer hunts. My wife gave me the idea to use the border around the map like you were looking through a looking glass so I ran some of the streams and creeks outside the border and made them smaller. That is why I didn't name any of the creeks and streams outside the looking glass. Thanks for the comments, very much appreciated!

As I am the customer that this horn was made for let me first say that yes i am lucky to call this one my own. Jason delivered it to me just this afternnon. Jason is a long time friend of mine and is becoming a very accomplished horner and rifle maker. When i first commissioned theis horn oh so many moons ago i gave him pretty much carte blanche to do with it as he pleased with a few very minor exceptions. The only things that i asked to be incorporated were that i wanted my name somewhere on the horn, a carved and dyed neck, iron staple attatchment points, antique finish and that it would be personally signed by him so everyone who saw it would know exactly who created it. Everything else was left for him to do as he please, style, carvings, etc. A short time after I asked him to make the horn, I recieved a message again asking what i would like on it. Again i told him to do with it what he pleased. And as he is such a great friend the reply came with a threat to scrimshaw little pink bunnies and male genital organs onto it. Only a true friend could threaten such a thing. A few days ago Jason sent me the piucs of the completed horn and i was completely taken aback. It surpassed all expectations. I have to say that the pics dont really do this horn justice, it looks far better in person. A truly excellent execution. I see a great number of hunts in my future with this horn at my side. Now all I have to do is design and build a pouch to accompany the horn. Lets see just how long that takes.........
Many thanks,
Ron Bergum Jr.
