Southern style

[hawkthrower]

Here is another southern style horn that I just finished.

15in. AC from tip to hollowed baseplug of Elm
Antler applied tip, everything pinned with wood
Hand forged staple.
Dyed with Rit berries, yellow and wine on the horn and wine and brown on the rings

I am starting to really enjoy making rings for some reason.

Thanks JWC. It always surprises me when one turns out like this one did. If you start with the right type of horn the whole thing just seems to come together in spite of you.

WOW that nice.

 

[hawkthrower]

Thanks for all the comments folks.

Foster, the rings are turned from a seperate piece of horn and then applied with , in this case , wooden pegs.
