basket weave horn
« on: May 04, 2013, 04:04:42 AM »
I havn't posted anything for awhile on here, so I thought it was about time. This horn idea arose from a night of to many cold beverages with a fellow horner. I found out right away that the toughest part of building this one was finding a horn that would ( with a little applied heat) fit over another horn. Having a large bin of "that didn't work" horn pieces made it a lot easier.
It is of course based on a southern banded horn design
 So here it is.
 13 1/2 in around the curve
 2 3/8 in at the base with a hollowed out cherry base plug and antler applied button for the strap
 Antler applied tip
 
hope you like it. any and all comments or critique are welcome.

I rather like that. It certainly shouldn't slip in your hand.

Now I'm curious how it would look with a light colored basket weave over a dark horn.........
