Another "My First Horn"

[BigPaGuy]

Here she is, warts and all!

I didn't change the names of the pics, so they run newest to oldest, but you can follow the progression if you start at the last one and go backwards...

I have to add staples yet, but need to get some smaller brass first. The nails, such as they are, are hand-worked brass brazing rod, filed to a point and then heated and tapped with a ball-peen hammer to make flat heads. Base is a piece of walnut from here on our place.

Thanks to all for the kind words.

Old Salt, that is actually right about where my home is, so I guess you could say it IS my hunting camp, although not very secret!

I live right off of Tuscarawas (Taskarora) Road, so that is how the camp came to be named on the horn. They tell me that the road actually was part of a warrior trail, and that it leads to some petroglyphs just below my home which are now underwater due to the Stratton Lock and Dam.

Anyways, thanks again!
