I've been on something of a John Proud kick these last few months. Here's a few of his horns that I just couldn't pass up.

John is a fine gent and a great artist.

Those are great. John is one of the best to do it, his horns are richly appointed and always completely finished and showcase all his diverse skill. And he’s one classy guy too

Superb engrailing an that second horn! True master.

Thanks for posting those pictures Bob and thanks to all who complimented my work. I just "fancy up" what the cow took three years or so to make.

Work has been slow as I am recovering from my 6th spinal surgery. No bending, lifting or pulling. Looks like another month to get back to any serious shop work.

Thanks again to all for your comments. Great site to stay in touch with.

My best,

John

Great horn work John!!! Wishing you a speedy recovery so that you can catch up with those cows whose horns have been steadily growing while you were down.

Dang John you and I are in the same boat with the number of spinal surgeries. I hope you heal up nice and this is it for you.

John, you certainly have a fine eye and wonderfully skilled hands. Take care of that back. I am now recovering from spine surgery No. 4 and can truly feel your pain.

Nice looking horns. I love that first one with the octagon shape.

Beautiful horns!

Those are so nice, can't believe Bob is going to fill them with powder and get them all "patinaed" and dirty!

Robert Hill · « **Reply #18 on:** August 31, 2021, 03:34:24 AM »

Those are some very nice horns there.

Great work John! You have a talent and creativity to be admired, I'd be proud to carry one of your horns as part of my kit in the woods or to the firing line.
Take care of your back, I hope you heal up quickly and successfully. Unfortunately I've been there myself, twice now and it's no fun. Keep up the good work.
