Jim Spray Iron Tip On An Outside The Box Horn
« on: February 07, 2022, 05:08:37 PM »
 It is about 9 1/4" around the outside curve and 7 tip-to-tip. The butt is Walnut about 1 5/8" wide, it is threaded 1/2-8. The threaded dowel is Hickory, screwed into the cap and secured with a steel pin. Attached to the horn with 3 steel pins.
 The tip is one Jim made for me, it is very well done. It is pinned to the horn body by 3 steel nails. The bands are Pewter and held in place by 3 pins each. For the color it was boiled in a mix of water based dye. The strap keeper is 1/16", the legs were pounded square and small barbs were cut all around to hold it in place.
 The bottom with it in my hand give you a better idea of its size,

  Tim C.

Not your usual style brother!   Neat horn, especially with those pewter bands.  What is all of that white stuff in the background?  :-D

Beautiful horn.  The pewter bands really set it off!

 Thanks for the positive comments. It is different but the proportions worked out well and  it's a solid little horn.
