I use copper on a lot of projects in my shop, mostly weathervanes and gate accents. With lots of "scraps" I like to experiment with copper and have made lots of bowls and boxes and stuff. Here is a horn, inspired by the banded horns that Tim Crosby makes.
The idea was to make a metal horn with a twist. I made the piece around a tapered iron bar and I made it in three pieces. Each piece is silver soldered into a cone and the end diameters were adjusted to match up smoothly. I lead soldered the three cones together then filed them to get all of the hammer marks and to get a fair curve. The solder joints were melted apart and the rings were turned from apple and the pieces were reassembled on the rings with a slight twist. The pouring end is threaded like many horn tips and the end plug has a Henry Diston saw button rather than a staple. Tip to tip the horn is 10"
