Contemporary Accoutrements / Re: 7 Horns and a Bag.
« Last post by whetrock on Today at 09:39:58 AM »Frozen Run, Thanks for sharing that other technique. That's helpful. It's a clever solution.
I only have five antique horns here right now. I just checked them. The makers of two of them used the method I mentioned. The makers of the other three didn't. Five is not a very large sample, but it's still helpful to compare.
With the two that did use this technique, the lip of the horn is relatively fine. With the others it is relatively thick. I like the finer lip, myself. But both are "correct" as far as antiques go.
Only of the horns I have here has its original spout plug. That one just has a simple tapered plug, with no relief carved into it. That's on one of the horns with a thicker lip. I just mention that to tell you what I have. I think Phil's technique is a good one.
