Ok,  I have finished adding color to the horn.   I had to wipe it once and start over because I just didn't like the colors.   I now have something that I am reasonably happy with.   I just wish the scrimshaw was better; maybe the next time.   I need practice.

I used ferric nitrate as a base on the horn to give me a parchment like ground.    Then I used Winston & Newton drawing inks to color the fraktur with small watercolor brushes.   I considered more aging, but decided I wanted the horn to have a more new appearance to possibly go with one of my fraktur bags.

Mark,
That looks amazing to me. Always room for improvement,  but your scrimshaw looks good too. I would be proud to cary that horn, nicely done.

 Looks good Mark, it really brought out the entire horn. It would be neat to see what one heavily aged looks like. Nice work.
