They say the older you get, you start to lose it.  I think it's opposite for you.  That is one nice horn!

[whetrock]

Very nice.
If you wanted to post some more photos of that scrimshaw, I'm sure no one here would be disappointed!

Very nice attractive horn indeed.

Thanks Scott. I kept the first copy I made 12 years ago and I can see some differences. At 83 a bit of the "shakes" have set in. Still enjoy the horn work though.

Very nice.

Thanks. Busy right now but I'll get a few more up with some comments on the original horn.

Fantastic work as always!!!!!

 A Beauty John, you haven't lost a step, unfortunately I know what you mean about the "shakes". I have always been a fan of the braided stopper keepers that you do.

The scope of this kind of work boggles my mind. I can’t think how much time is spent on layout to make it all fit together as it did on the original.

Incredible work.

Here are a few more photos of John's horn. I had asked if he could provide some closeups of the scrimshaw, so he sent me some photos, which I've uploaded here with his permission. If you want to see a photo close up, just click on a photo and it will open again in a new window. Then click on that photo in the new window and it should enlarge. (Double click if necessary.)

Such beautiful work. John is one of the very finest Horn makers and is a real inspiration.
