Finished a horn for a friend
« on: August 18, 2019, 01:29:12 PM »
Tried to reproduce F&I style horn.Pine base plug with linseed oil,and his initials.Not sure what wood the plug is but it's hand filed.The scrimshaw banner has his nickname on it.I took some large copper wire apart and forged some nails out of the wire strands.

I'm getting the hang of these the more I do.Constructive critiques are always welcome,trying to get to Tim Crosby level someday.

One thing I do need to get better at is getting the crud out of the corners of the edges.Seems like no matter how good a job I think I do it never cleans up well.

I like lobed horns.  That’s a nice one, with a beautiful twist to it...good job!

Quite nice sir. I too really like those "lobed" horns. Interesting wood in the end plug.
