Bill Smith Flat Horn
« on: August 22, 2025, 03:51:24 AM »
Just finished the Fraktur art on a Bill Smith flat horn—a generous gift from a fellow black powder enthusiast. This one’s extra special since it’s my first scrimshaw piece done in color— and also because Bill passed away unexpectedly earlier this year.

Beautiful work. I had not heard Bill had passed away. :( I've always liked his flat horns, and he was very helpful working with my wife to pick out one of his flat horns for me as a Christmas present last year.
