I like that top picture of the spiral carved butt plug. __ Looks like some nice engraving under all that dark stain, but hard to see!

Very dark.  Wonder why the maker made them so?  Nice architecture on them.

I agree with John, these are very nice horns.  They are dark, but pictures never really do justice to a horn and I would love to see them in person.

Steve Boyleston horns; Great looking engraved, each, horn. Outstanding color, each, horn. Nicely carved wood butt caps. Poor lighting for photo's. Thanks for sharing. AJ.

I really like the dark color. I think the line drawings will appear sharp when viewed in person. Very nice work indeed.

I think these are very nice horns. He used horns with great shape and I really like the carved butts. The engraving is quite bold and deep. It should show up no matter how dark he chose to make the horns. Is he still doing horns?

Nice engraving.  The colors are nice even if they are over done.  A couple of levels lighter would have had more contrast.  Maybe after the horn is carried a couple of years the color will wear down to make the horn have a nice wear pattern showing.

 They are too dark for me I would like to see the engraving better, the dark stain takes away all the hard work that has been done. Why do all that nice stuff and then make it like that  ???

The scrim and horn construction look to be exceptional.  The color is a departure from the norms but sure adds an interesting dimension which apparently some don't particularly like but I think that is part of the beauty of the work.  He has stayed within the historical standards and brought a new perspective which will cause most to more closely look at the horns.  I applaud the departure.

 They would have been even better if you could see the engraving.  ???

Yep!  Their dark, but a second look at them and I like what I see in skill :o.  Dark, but not really having that too distressed beat- up look, like some like!

I just noticed that Steve Boyleston has one of his custom guns on the CLA Blog today.  Beautifully done!
