A flat horn with a twist
« on: February 02, 2015, 03:53:09 AM »
Made this one a month or so ago so some of you may have seen it but I thought I would share it here. I flattened this horn with the curve still in it and then put the facets on the sides. I did a little Dutch style polychroming and used curly maple for the base. As I started doing the engraving I dropped the horn and cracked the tip so it actually has a two piece applied tip. it is about 10 3/4 in. long and 1 in. thick. I also made the drawer pulls that are shown on it. I hope you like it and all comments or critique are welcome.

Ron

I love this horn Ron. I know it was a challenge at first but it came out well. I also like the scrim. One of your best.

You may be the "Gun Butcher" but certainly not the "Horn Butcher". Very Nice.

Thanks everyone. This one started out to just see if I could flatten a horn with the curve in it and the more I worked the more it seemed to take on a life of its own.

That horn makes me smile in a really good way.  Very creative.  You should be proud of that one.   Best wishes,  Marc
