Very nice, look great to me. Wish there were more shows close enough for me to attend. The family would love it.

I love viewing your work,....everything is so precise and well executed. The geometric scrim on those to flat horns are something else. -Aaron

Wow, I love them all...but that octagon flat horn with the geometric designs is exquisite!  Fantastic!

When most of us go to sleep at night these horns are what we dream about. They are absolutely perfect.

Oooo, nice stuff indeed! They ought to sell quickly and I wish I was closer to shows like this.  My question is on the octagon flat horn and how you constructed the round attachment point on the base? What is it made of and how did you secure it to the horn?
How about a close-up of the base of that horn?

Outstanding as usual John.  I doubt any of these lasted the show?

There is so much to like in these photos John.  That Tansel with the tiger is especially drool worthy.  God Bless,   Marc
