Title: Banded Horn With Rawhide Patch
Post by: Tim Crosby on January 28, 2019, 07:36:04 PM
  It is about 13" around the outside curve, Tip-To-Tip about 10 1/2". The Walnut plug is hollowed out and is about 2 1/4", held in by Six iron pins. The Two part tip is held together with Three pins and to the horn with Three more. The bands are held in place by Three pins each. The patch is a piece of Sheep rawhide sewn together with a piece of lace made from it. A field repair, coarser than the original work. All boiled in a mix of dyes, held to the light you can still see through it.

That is a really cool bit of work there Tim. Neat shape, base and bands. Color is rich too. The way you spaced the bands gives the impression of a four band horn that lost a band in an accident, and was repaired with hide. Neat idea. Best wishes and God bless, Marc

 That's what I was thinking and being a filed repair it would not be as neat as if done by a skilled worker.

  Thanks To All, Tim
