Grove Horn
« on: March 05, 2013, 07:13:48 AM »
This is a project that took me some time to complete. It is a contemporary horn with F&I influences.  It has a map from ft Frederick to ft necessity....some typical text....an outline of ft Frederick and an early federal eagle.  there is much i would not have put on this horn personally but it is a customer design.  the base and spout plug are cherry..horn dyed with rit. Base also has a bone cabochon inlay. No engrailing...instead i used coved panels to offset the throat.

That is a fine looking horn.     The architecture, engraving and color are first class.

First class John. The panels are a nice touch and i like the cabochon. The eagle looks period to me. you nailed it.  Your customer will be thrilled. Rob
