Title: Banded Horn
Post by: Tim Crosby on November 15, 2017, 05:32:35 PM: This one is about 14" around the outside curve and 11 tip to tip. The Walnut Butt is held in with Four wooden pegs and is hollowed out about 3/4s its length. The tip is a Two piece pinned together with Three wooden pegs and to the horn with Three more. The band was heated and pressed on and is also held in place by Three wood pegs.

Tim, I like the finish you achieved, and especially that cool plug. :-)

Best wishes, Marc
