Title: Did a afford to make a horn myself
Post by: hawkeye on February 26, 2022, 06:07:05 PM
Started a while back to work on this project and just finished up
Tried to reflect a Revolution war horn, don't know if the features are all correct but I tried as I said
Measures 13 1/2 inch over the curve and is 2 1/2 inch wide on the back
Give it also a try on scrimshaw it
Your humble
Hawkeye

 Nothing wrong with that, the art work is great.

Good looking horn.  I'd hang it off a bag!

It's my first scrimshaw horn, built a couple years before this banded horn

I've just started making some simple horns myself, and I can only now understand how much craftsmanship such a horn involves. You have my utmost respect.
