Title: Finally finished my horn!
Post by: Mongo40 on January 30, 2013, 03:07:25 PM
I haven't finished a horn in awhile as I just do it for fun, been working on this one as the mood hits me, taking my time, I'm thinking it will have a slight German Hunting theme by the time I'm done, as I've sketched out the designs I'm scrimming on it, I'll post pics as I go if anyone is interested in looking at them.

Thanks, this one isn't getting worked on much right now as I'm working on one for a lady that was ordered an I've got to finish another that I"m donating to our Rondevouz the end of next month as one of the raffle prizes. I've done a little more on this one but not enough to post a pic of it yet.

Mongo that is a very nice horn with great art on it. It appears to be a wall hanger because if I ever caried it I would have it beat up and filthy. Be proud of your work on it. I'm impressed! Keep it up!

Thanks guys, but I don't make wall hangers, well that's not really true, everything I make hangs on the wall till I take it down to use it, seal this thing up with a good paste wax an it will be fine to carry around !
