Horn in progress.

I had post a question about applied bands on a horn a few days ago but didn't get any info so I decided to just cut what bands I can get on the horn.
So far I've trimmed down the spout and started one band. The next step will not be as deep and is mainly for a slot to hold the strap. I haven't worked down that portion yet or finished polishing the spout.
The horn is to thin to try and cut a band at the plug end so I'm considering doing a little scrimshaw work in that area.
I have some nice rosewood in the shop I think I'll use for the plug and will go with a twisted steel staple that I'll have to make.

Try not to breath in that rosewood dust. Nasty stuff.

Yes you are correct, I've worked with it several times on grips for my handgun collection and always wear a mask.
