Before I start

[LURCHWV@BJS]

I personaly love the way my first horn turned out.  Relizing the lines don't flow with the shape of the horn. I believe theyre not perpandicular.


  So before I start #2 I will ask for guidence . 


  This is a small horn with real thick walls  Lots of room to fix mistakes.

 Kind of hard to explain this...the four line on the left that I'm guessing will be two rings, are off. The bottoms should be shifted to the left.
 Do you have The Sibley's book, Recreating The 18th Century Powder Horn? There is an excellent discretion of laying out rings in it.

Yes I have the Sibley Book.  I will Be sanding this down a little and start over.  Would rather do it right the first time around.

   Thanks Tim

Just a technique I use when making the panels and anytime I am making lines to engrave names/sayings on horns.  It helps to lay it out a sharply as possible.  To do this, I use black electrical tape--it is flexible and will conform to the shape of the horn so you can pencil in lines that are clean and crisp.  Also, I start with the line on the inside or outside curve and then draw a line on the opposite side of the horn.  Then look down the length of the horn and draw a line halfway between the two on each side so you have 4 lines dividing the horn into quarters.  Half those and you have an 8 panel horn that conforms to the shape of the horn in proportion--hopes that this makes sense--just my technique...
