An Engraved Flat Powder Horn (#53)
« on: February 02, 2024, 01:42:46 AM »
This horn is just today finished- took a while with too many distractions.  It's 11.5" along the bottom and 3.5" at the Walnut base cap.
Trying to get an early Woodcut type image feel.

Thanks guys. I was thinking about doing something similar on a flat horn panel. I saw Crazy crow sells them.  Might be cool.
