Ugly One!

[gus13]

In the Sibleys New book, there is a pic of a horn, which I believe is one of His - not an original. But when I first saw it, I thought "That is an Ugly lookin' horn!" but for some reason I kept going back to it! so I decided I had to try it! :grin:
then the power went out, I broke my 1/4" drill bit, and ran out of steel wool... :shocked2:
but anyway here it is waiting on the aging to dry. integral carved bands flat pine plug.

As always comments critiques and questions are welcome

I think the horn it's self is fine the only thing I would change is to me the spout looks to large, maybe taper the end of it down and it would be more in perportion with the rest of the horn . I like the curve and bands on it. Duane

My thoughts exactly Duane! :rotf: :rotf: :rotf:
Thats why its Ugly! :grin: but its pretty close to how it looks in the Sibley book with the exception of the color :hatsoff:
Thanks for the comment though, at least I know I'm not alone on it!

:rotf: :rotf: :bull: :rotf: :rotf:
the thing about this'n is that it just grows on ya! I'm not even joking! it has a way of imbedding itself into your brain! kinda like them club butt fowlers, ugly as sin, but after a while you see the "redeeming" qualities of them and suddenly it hits you like a punch to the face, it looks good! (not this particular piece but the one its based off!) but thanks for the vote of confidence nonetheless! :haha:

Just think, there is another horn just like that one out there some were. And a bull it come off of. :grin:

hehe Gus...
I was gonna make a comment about "ugly" club butt fowlers, but ya beat me to it...LOL. The "ugly" ones sometimes do grow on ya... I bought a nice lookin' club butt, just took awhile looking at the pictures at evry angle. Kind of like owning an ugly dog, they grow on ya too.

Congratulations! You have succeeded in your quest! :thumbsup: :td: :idunno:

 

Looks pretty good to me, I imagine a lot of horns and such were "working" tools and didn't get a lot of fine embellishment. And then as now the finer the scratchings the more it cost!

 

[dbutch]

Butt Ugly! You nailed it!...I get it! Enjoy your new horn :thumbsup:
