Worked on a horn tonight

[battman1]

Didn't turn out as good as I wanted but it does look better than in the pic.

[Roaring Bull]

That doesn't look bad!!

[battman1]

Thanks its only a little over an inch wide so it was kind of tight getting the stuff in there.

[Leathermonger]

looks good from here, just keep at it, it comes with practice!

[bull frog]

It turned out well, keep at it and you will improve with each try.

[Linc]

That looks pretty darned good to me. How did you tranfer the design onto the horn? Or did you free hand it?

[battman1]

Its free hand.Thats why it's uneven.

[battman1]

Oh I almost forgot.Thanks for the compliments.You all are to nice.

[Leathermonger]

One way we transfer design to hron is to draw it out on paper, then flip the paper over and trace it with a sharp! soft lead pencil, then wet the horn and lay the design on, press with out rubbing it back and forth too much, pull off the paper and your ready to go, kind like a tattoo artist transfers from a design on their master wall drawings, you may also try to visit a tattoo shop and see if they'll sell you one of the pencils they use for that purpose

Looks just fine....
Hand work..not sum lazer/machine cut thing..always is mo' gooder...

[Oregon Horner]

I freehand a lot of my scrimshaw designs, but on something like a coat of arms, using the transfer technique is the way to go.

Looks good from here!...Everyone starts from someplace!
Look at many, many of the old original horns and you'll see uneveness and lots of slips and goof-ups!  That's what adds character!

You can call 'em "slips and goof ups"........I prefer to call them "creative alterations"!

[Chaffa Hosa]

Mr Wolf
Mind if I borrow the phrase " Creative Alterations"?
I can use it a lot
