Newest horn project

[S.Kenton]

I’ve roughed it out and will start finishing scraping, sanding and shaping the tip later this week. What’d ya all think?

So far, so good. Looks quite promising.

 

[S.Kenton]

Thank you! I’ll post more pics tomorrow ... I’m off all week for Independence Day shutdown.. so I should get a lot done.

 

[S.Kenton]

I think I’ll like this enough to keep it!

I have 5 that I may sell later this month

Day 2

 

[S.Kenton]

I decided to remove the pour spout shoulder and make it streight, looks more slim this way. Still have some final shaping and then comes through base plug.... wish my hands would still allow me to scrimshaw... but years of factory work has left me nearly unable to write my name clearly, much less scrim anything worth a darn anymore.

I'm going to follow your progress. I have a horn that I started and when it's finished, my brother will scrim it for me.

Nice work. I like the color, and proportions. Looking forward to seeing more.

Base plug is fitted and roughed in, it may have been a little large for the opening... it’s not as bad as it looks though in the picture. I’ll finish shaping The base plug later this week...

Some progress

And another

I’m not yet done, a few more details and about another hour or two

 

[S.Kenton]

I’m not sure I like the strap loop on the top, it may grow on me. I may replace the small loop with an exaggerated larger one... then stain the spout plug and maybe engrail.. and then who knows, scrimshaw? I havnt done that for a while due to carpal tunnel... which seems to be getting better.

Very nice indeed.

 

[fjrdoc]

Looking good. The horn has nice lines.

 

[S.Kenton]

Done!
