Another after a couple of horns on pages 52 and 53 of Dr. Jay Hopkins' book, "Bone tipped & Banded Horns Vol II". Not a copy but more in the style of.
It is about 13 1/2" around the outside curve and 11 tip-to-tip. The Butt is Walnut held in by the same 4 wooden pegs that hold the base band in place. The tip is a two piece antler pinned together with 3 pegs and to the horn with 3 more. The 3 bands were heated and pressed on then secured with 3 Iron pins each. It was scraped, colored with dye and Brown shoe polish.

The people who live in N. Carolina (including my family in Watauga County until 1864) salute you.

Man that's a good one Tim! I love the way the antiquing got down in the lines and make them popped. Great color too. That one will sell fast.

I have an idea Tim. Now that you have done the one with the "missing" bands, how about one pre-worn like it rubbed against a bag for years? Just thinking out loud. God Bless, Marc

This one is kind of used and abused, there will be more down the line.

Very nifty!! Looks like a museum piece to me. (I should check the Mount Airy NC Historical Society and see if anything's missing!
