Fantastic Horn

If you get time everybody needs to look at the John Barret horn on the Contemporary Makers site.  Fantastic.  The coloring and carving is out of this world.

You're not kidding.  That might be my favorite horn ever.

Sometimes I look at engraved and carved horns and think about what Allen Martin said about some gunmakers--they need to know when to stop. In this case I'm REALLY glad he DIDN'T stop! Wonderful and imaginative design.

This is the best horn that I have ever seen. Absolutely gorgeous. Perfection in your art.

WOW!!! Talk about a museum piece :) I see this craftsmanship and curse myself for having so little talent. Sometimes just tying my shoes is a chore. Thank god for Velcro. LOL
