French and Indian war horn scrimshawed by Cathy Sibley
« on: December 07, 2024, 03:52:11 PM »
It took me around 7 years to acquire enough views of this horn to duplicate it as closely as we could. (That is the scenery part, the shaping of the horns tip is nit the same as I got no pictures of it). Anyways, enjoy the photos, Cathy and I enjoy recreating works from the past..

Wow, Scott, that is absolutely incredible! I'm still trying to get my jaw off the floor.

I am not familiar with the original, so forgive my asking, but I assume the Masonic scene is on the original? I'm impressed to see that level of symbols on a horn.

Impresssive work! Not just the horn but also the dedication to pursue images of the original thru the years. Thanks for posting the images. Always enjoy seeing your and Kathy's creations.

A question. In the second image there is a triangle with a S in it on the line with Merry Christmas. Is that one of the marks you use to identify your work? I ask because I maintain a computer file of "Makers Marks" believing that they should be recorded for posterity.

Great horn Scott! This is one of your horns that you kept I'm guessing.

That level of skill and patience is waaaay beyond my comprehension and I am glad to see these projects here from time to time.
You MUST have the desire to do this or it would never get started at all.Keep up the great work.

Another great horn by a very talented team.   On Tumbledown's question, Masonic symbols were fairly common on horns of that period.
