Beautiful horn Danny! Looks like your "kit's" getting bigger and better huh? :wink: :thumbsup:

Two words, absolutely beautiful!


What did you use to carve with?

Thank you, we really committed ourselves to doing our best on this. Thats why it took us over 2 weeks to get it done. I believe the next one will go a little faster.. :wink:

As far as what i carved & scrimed with, I reckon it would be easier to show you, then to try and tell you...

Oooop's, i left out my carving gouges from the picture. I used both the "U" gouge for the engrailing and a small "V" gouge, along with the smallest rat tails, to broaden out some of my finer lines. It was a slow and careful process. I also bought one of those Jewlers Magnifier hoods, so i could see what i was doing up close.. :thumbsup:

My camera ain't the best in the world and mama won't let me touch her's, sooooo i'll try again with these.. Plus they moved my first pic's out of the photo section, to the craftsmans section...


I'am real proud, for this being our first real attempt with a raw horn.

Here's a peek at horn #2 with it being so small, i'am going to make into a day horn or priming horn. I've already cut a lobe in the horn for the strap and it has a flat plug made of pine this time. Now its time to start carving... :grin:

Because it's about "making" a horn and the tools you used?
