Bold...

A large horn. So that makes for a good size Federal Eagle.

How did you like doing a large engraving?  I find it daunting.....

Really like the look of the base cap inset!

I don`t mind doing large work just takes time that's all .. stopped doing engraving because of a bad disk in my neck but found a way to start again that it does not bother me .. I have done full Tansel horns before..

Great Eagle. Tomorrow is first oppo to trout fish. Life is good. Keep up the great horn work
