 This horn is after a horn shown on page 264 of Jay Hopkins book Bone Tipped & Banded Horns If you have any interest in horns this is a must have book.
 It is about 15" around the outside curve, tip to tip about 11". The Butt is Cherry, about 2 1/2" in d, hollowed out about 3/4s its length and held in place by 4 wooden pins. The tip is one piece Antler held with 3 wooden pins.
