Shreckengost horn

[suzkat]

I took one of the elements from a Wm Shreckengost rifle circa 1855, the silver cheekpiece, and scrimmed it on a horn. This design is commonly found on Kentucky longrifles from the era.

Thanks, can't decide whether to put more stuff on it or just stain it as is.

Beautiful. :thumbsup:
I'm a proponent of just using the horn and letting it acquire a natural patina.

Thanks for the kind words. I'm going to name this the "Chickenhawk Horn" because my first attempt at relief carving an eagle on the plug looks like some other bird.
