First Buffalo horn
« on: October 30, 2024, 08:23:28 PM »
My first Buffalo horn build. Black walnut base plug, cherry stopper and base plug pegs whittled from cow bone.
Lots learned and I’ll do another this winter.
Some day I hope to make a basic ( if it can be called that. ) St Louis horn.

I like the satin finish you achieved.  Lots of guys take them to a glossy surface - which on a black horn can make them look too much like plastic, and/or like something mass produced.

Thank you, I am overall very happy with the result. I think because I built it dozens of times in my head. I cant say that I would change anything. But will say it was quite a learning experience compared to cow horn.

Very nice work on that horn. St. Louis horns sure are pretty.
