My creative energy was in overdrive yesterday.
I decided to make a flat horn yesterday afternoon and started to work on Horn #60. I selected a hum-drum horn from my box of goodies because I wasn't expecting much, just a fun project. It moved right along with few challenges. I really began to like the shape, which initially was rather dull. I just started rasping and filing away at the horn until I arrived at the final shape. Made the plug and finished scraping and so forth. Then last night I spent a few hours, among other things, to think about how to embellish it with some engraving. Because I really like the spout shape, color and feel, I wanted a simple design, and this morning I got to work. Just some simple lines was all it needed I decided, and here's how it came out.
This was the quickest horn build I have ever done, and I really like it. No planning and no layout, just a spur-of-the-moment project.
It may become part of my "day hunt" rig.
