I was hoping that I could get some feedback on my latest project. I tried to make it as if a farmer or hunter hand crafted it while sitting around the fire. The end plugs are carved pine with a sea turtle on one end and a box turtle on the other end. The plug is carved poplar, and is a box turtle as well. The entire horn was sealed inside with beeswax and the end caps were sealed with beeswax and five small brass tacks per end. The strap staples were formed from heavy wire. The scrimshaw reads “A Mule’s Ear of Rum,” which I am told is roughly four ounces. The deer on the opposite side is my interpretation of an 1800s calligraphy art piece. Any suggestions are welcome. I’m learning. My apologies for the cell phone camera distortion. Thank you.
