Good looking horn and pistol; did you make the pistol also?

Keep at it. If you mess it up you can scrape it down and try try again.

That is really nice work. Interesting technique on the stippled horn

Another vote for Corey Joe. I have several of his wares, and they are excellent.

Been messing around with a flat horn I picked up a couple of years ago. The designs are based on a Scottish horn dated to the 1690s.

The grain following thing is just like the issue in wood carving, except you are using a pointy needle rather than a V chisel or a blade. Try flipping it over so that you are cutting "down grain" rather than "up grain"

My favorite work was done my StumblinWolf out of Ohio. Matt was a real artist. Unfortunately I have lost contact with him.

I have done a little geometric etching, but no animals or scenes.

I live near stumbling wolf, and have several items of his horn work. Drop me a line at [email protected] if you want me to try to contact him for you. I believe his work to be top of the line. If you send me your email I could send you some pictures. I don't know how to post pictures on the new site.
