you know I think they need to make a section on here just for horns ....I really like your work and everyone elses I see it makes strive to do better myself....Can`t wait to see this one done

There is allot of rough work to this type of horn as you have to remove allot. Its a good use for heavy walled horns.  The finishing around the cameo's is time consuming.  Cathy is decorating another horn with a single raised heart. Will post that when its done.

What are you using to remove the horn?  It looks like something that cuts a round hole about t quarter inch in diameter, is it a dremel tool?

Scott,

This should be a very nice looking horn when Cathy gets done with it.  Sure wish my wife could/would do all the scrimshaw for my horns.

I use a wood gouge and a mallet. Cathy gets to hold the hold while I rough it out.  You can soak them in water to soften things up and help with the cutting. I soaked this one for several days before working on it.  It doesnt make it easy but it helps.

Could it be that I may be a Mason?

 Looks like it is off to a great start. Is the tip horn and how is going to be attached? I can appreciate the work on those panels, they look really well done, very nicely shaped and sharp.

 Thanks, Tim C.
