Southwest Virginia horn

[j. pease]

I just finished this horn in preparation to help Art Decamp teach a southern horn class at Conner Prairie next week

I forgot to mention this is out of Jay Hopkins book. Antler tip and ash plug.

[Greg Pennell]

That’s a nice one!  Is the tip pinned on, or screw tip?  I gotta make me up some mandrels and put my old South Bend to work...haven’t found a wood lathe yet. I picked up a copy of the Sibley’s new book on banded horns, and have been itching to try one.

Edit:  never mind, if I looked closer I’d have seen the pins! 🤦🏻‍♂️

Marvelous! I like the character of that one.

[Tim Crosby]

 A Beauty Jim, well done. The tip looks very similar to the one on the horn Tanselman posted. What page of the book is it on?

   Thanks, Tim

Tip is pinned like original with 4 brass pins. Butt plunge pinned under band and 2 wooden plans in band also like original. I needed practice, this is one of the horns for students to make in the class
