Great looking horn! (i like the bag, too)
by the way, is that a red squirrel in the photo? what a monster! at least double the size of the red ones we have around here (Southeastern Vermont) our greys are pretty big, but the reds are really just chipmunks on steriods.
keep up the nice work, go forth, and
make good smoke!

Ben,
When I first saw your horn, I thought - "Now that looks like an everyday, 18th century horn". Many of the professional horns we see today look like they were made for the very rich and may not have been as common as your horn. I like it a lot. :thumbsup:

I am VERY impressed with your work! LOVE the rose nails..the scrim is nice too! As a matter of fact...better than I can do!....What tools did you use for your scrim work?
Both bags are very nice..your on your way for sure!
Keep up the great work! :hatsoff:

Hey guys, thank you for the compliments! :hatsoff: I'm working on another horn right now, so I thought I'd document the making of the horn a little better this time...
The nails/pins being made. The nail on the left is how they look at first. Then I cut the end inch and a half off and file that to a point then peen a small head onto it. I usually get two or three pins per nail.
Close-up of the peened head.
The horn so far...
I'm thinking of scrimshawing the date "1812" on the horn since it's the bicentennial of the War of 1812. :idunno:
