My Favorite Horn
« on: December 14, 2024, 01:06:27 AM »
So, not to flood this forum with pictures of all my Powder Horns (I promise to hold-back after this one!), but I just wanted to share my newest horn, Number 74. I had no idea what or how it would turn out, but just started engraving it one night and three days later it's done. I began using colors (Not the first time, but here I started to blend them to impart shading and depth, as well as age), and I think it came together pretty well. Quite "Folk-Artsy", which is where my heart lays, after all.

Bob,
  you have truly mastered your craft. Your horns both flat and regular are wonderful keepsakes, much too nice to scratch up in the thickets and brambles. :)
