Southen Banded Horn

I am back to making spec horns again as I can't get the horns I need for the large early right handed horns I am frequently asked to make. This medium to large sized horn (Horn #51) is a traditional left hand carry inspired by some Early Virginia horns shown in Jay Hopkin’s book Bone Tipped & Banded Horns. While it is a traditional left hand carry, it can be carried on the right. It is 16″ around the outside curve and 12 3/4″ tip to tip not including the stopper. The Black Walnut base plug is 2.72″ in diameter and hollowed out about 3/4 of its length. There is also a Black Walnut stopper in the horn screw-tip. There is no stain on the horn. It is all finished with Tried & True (linseed oil and beeswax). This horn is thin and translucent its entire length. It weighs a little under 8 oz.

I love how the grain in the beehive plug aligns with and mirrors color streaks in the horn.

That’s a looker Mark. I really appreciate all of those turned grooves in the band and beehive. Sharp work as usual. That one will go quick. God bless, Marc

Every element of this horn ties together and compliments each other. Beautiful work.
