Philadelphia Style Horn

[Tim Crosby]

 
 It is about 12” around the outside curve. The Walnut base is about 2 ¼”, hollowed out about 3/4s of the way, it is held in by four wooden pegs that also hold the band in place. The collar and tip are both horn,, they are threaded ½-13, not the collar. The collar is held in place by the staple along with a little hide glue. Color is AF with Brown shoe polish over it. 
 As always any comments, pro or con are welcome, this should be a given by now.

A very attractive horn.  The color of the horn gives it a great age look.....well done!

Tim, good morning Sir. Very nicely finished Philadelphia horn,and styling. My eye prefers a more narrow band Thanks for sharing. Jim.

Good  job Tim. Follows all the criteria for a Philadelphia horn as far as I can see. One question. Why did you choose to use 1/2 inch instead of 5/8? I realize that there were different sizes and threads used on originals.

Yes Tim and as usual you have created another beautiful horn. Thanks for posting the pictures and thanks for sharing your knowledge with us.

Nice!

Is the horn collar from the same horn? How did you cut it off and square it up so nicely, and get the grooves cut in?

 It depends on the size of the horn. As far as keeping the threads HC, when I give up using electricity I may also start being HC in the threading dept    I do try and keep them looking like originals I've seen and that is difficult at times  on its own.

 No it is not, you would have to cut to much of the horn off. The collar and tip are done on a lathe.  Take a look at this, it will help.
