A Christmas Horn
« on: December 21, 2009, 07:12:50 AM »
Here's a little horn I made to hang on a tree.  I'm not sure what type of wood the butt is.  I turned it from a piece of a piano leg I had lying around.  The spout plug is a piece of pine from siding.  I stained the horn with aquafortis, then dipped in dark walnut stain.  Wrapping ribbon for the strap attached with braded waxed linen thread.



To everyone a very Merry Christmas

Wow! I can just picture a whole tree full of them. Sounds like a project. Merry Christmas to you too and to everyone on the ALR site.

Cool Scott! I assume you plan on putting it on the tree every year after? Merry Christmas!

Actually, this one was a blanket prize at our monthly club shoot.  I have another one (not as good) that is on our tree..

That is a VERY neat idea!  You may have stumbled onto a market!

Thank you all.  I wish I had more of these little horns, cause they look good on the tree. ;D
