1812 Naval Horn

This is one of my latest projects. This horn is a tad over 16 inches around the curve with tall ship USS President in battle.



Reserve side.

I dont normally go for fancy horns or guns but this one jumped out at me. I like it :thumbsup: :hatsoff:

Your artwork is superb! :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Beautiful!

 

[Spikebuck]

Incredible! :hatsoff:

May I ask, for an experienced horner like yourself, about how many labor hours are involved in a creation like that? Not ever doing this myself I have no idea what it takes, but imagine it has to a be a LOT of hours.

I know that considering my lack of art skills I could spend forever and not come close to that work.

WOW! Are the bands around the horn copper? And how in the world did you get that swirl around the neck?

Amazingly beautiful! :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Killer horn! Very nice.

SpikeBuck, I worked on this horn and a couple others over a period of four weeks and really didn;t keep track of my hours on it, but probably in the 30 hour area total.

Double D, Yes that's copper bands and the spiral throat is hand carved that way. Took some time on those grooves!
