That is a very nice horn you have there Van. Your Son will be able to keep that and pass it down through the family...

That's a nice job there.   Particularly impressed by the antler stopper.

Thanks Mark...in addition to my wood lathe I have a mico-lathe its made for turning beads...i use it to turn the smaller tips of antler into stoppers I also made a pen mandrel used for spouts sometimes instead of changing out parts on my bigger lathe...it works great!
