Handmade Blowing Horn
« on: July 26, 2011, 03:04:23 AM »
I see in Tim Crosby's hunting horn "how to" that Downsouth is going to be making on a hunting horn completely by hand at Dixon's this weekend.  I just spent last week at a conference in San Diego.  Except for cutting the tip off and drilling the mouthpiece hole at home before I left, this horn was built in my hotel room using only a palm gouge, chip carving knife, Xacto saw, #49 patternmakers rasp and a cabinet scraper.
I stained the horn this weekend after returning home.  Too much risk involved with stains and dyes in a rental apartment, guess how I know.

Interesting finished results. Nice job working under handy capped conditions which you described. Thanks for posting the pictures. Jim & Alyce.

It came out very well Dave. I tend to like the scraped look over the well sanded and smooth finish look. It looks like it would go well with an old bag and horn set.

What this place needs is the ability to post midi sound files--or is that already possible? I'm not geek enough to know. :P
