I just finished another applied-tip powder horn with some more traditional fraktur scrimshaw. I didn't add any color to this one except for ferric nitrate stain on the horn. This right hand horn is 14″ around the outside curve and 11.5″ tip to tip, not including the stopper. The cherry base plug is 2.48″ in diameter. The tip is horn and antler. The stopper is walnut. While this is a traditional right hand horn. the engraved panels are positioned so that they look right when the horn is worn on either side.

Yes sir. That is some fine looking art there Mark. I agree with what was said, you are definitely developing an identifiable style....and a good one at that. God Bless, Marc

I make it all up, sometimes as I go. I really should give the overall design more thought than I do.
