That's a very fine looking horn as is, IMO. It'll be a beauty when scrimshawed. By the way, how can one "reasonably" scrim a horn when he can't even draw a straight line without a ruler? I'd like to try but but I have LOFT, unfortunately.
Not sure what LOFT is, but....
Not many folks CAN draw a straight line without a ruler. Fortunately, drawing stuff usually requires curved lines...
Basically, get a piece of practice horn, draw on it with a pencil until you get a picture you like, cut over the lines with a knife, and fill the lines with ink. Many/most originals are really pretty crude anyway. If you have no training in drawing you will have less to unlearn to imitate originals - I've found that I have to consciously "unlearn" what I've been taught about drawing to get anything that looks properly folksy.
Now, doing a really fine piece in the manner of John Bush or the Siege of Boston horns might be a bit more difficult. Not every original was that nice, though.
