first horn

[east texas]

this is my first horn, its not as nice as a lot of horns ive seen but i hope to get better! i made it for a neighbor and will make one for me to keep when i get better at it! i stained it with some red oak and its shiny with boiled linseed oil will steel wool it down when it dries good. the stopper is a spike bucks beam whittled down to look like a hoof, although its obviously not the best horn in the world im still kinda proud, as its the first one i made. i have a couple of goat horns laying around im gonna try to make a pistol horn out of one of them! mike

oh yea my neighbors name is j.r. so thats whats in the middle

:rotf: im thinkin at my age its not gonna be a new career!just somethin to do in the evenings as opposed to watchin re-runs! have you ever done anything with goat horns? they look really neat with the shouldering thats on them i really want to make a revolver horn out of one!

I wish the first horn I did looked as good as the one you did.

 

[hoochiepapa]

Looks good!
How about a pic of your grandpa's horn?

nice looking horn ... the warnings about their addictive nature are all true, by the way.
