And Yet Another Banded Horn
« on: August 21, 2009, 05:09:59 PM »
 This one is about 13" around the outside curve. The base is either cherry or maple, I forget which, it is hollowed out and a groove is turned in the outer edge so the horn fits in side of it. It is then pinned through the base, throught the horn back into the wood. The base is about 2 5/8" across. The three turned bands are of horn and are held on by two small steel pins each. The tip is of turned antler and is 2 1/4", it is held on by two small steel oins, the stopper is cherry.

Very nice Tim.  You sure have this "turning" down to a science with the plugs, tips, and bands you make.  If you don't mind me asking, what kind of lathe are you using to do that?  I'm assuming it's a wood lathe?  How big?

Tim, another great looking horn.  I like the idea of 'insetting' the lip of the base plug to house the horn.  Perfect.  Thanks for sharing another great banded horn.

Tim, I may have to attend the Log Cabin's horn making class in October to try to learn a few more things.  Are you still planning on conducting that seminar?   ;)
I thought some of the guys (or gals) would like to know just in case they'd like to look at some of your horns in person.  Oh, will a lathe be there too?

 Gary,
  It is going to be a VERY basic class all done with hand tools, no turning involved. At the end of day two or maybe before I hope to have everyone confident enough to move out on their own and have a finished horn in hand. I plan on cutting tips and drilling as a group as I think it is the most intimidating part of horn making for a beginner.
 We'll see how things go.

If I thought I could get out there for a couple of days I'd be your trusty assistance, Igor  ;D

Tim,
Another great looking horn.  I agree you have the banded horns down pat.  They are my favorite and I enjoy seeing everyone you make.  Thanks for sharing.

 Hi Brian,
   I have a Rikon mini lathe, it has a 12" swing and speed ranges from 430 to 3900.
I run it about 800 for everything I do on horns. It has a MT2 which is handy.
