the artist, did the schrim.
 
Been messing around with a flat horn I picked up a couple of years ago. The designs are based on a Scottish horn dated to the 1690s.

The grain following thing is just like the issue in wood carving, except you are using a pointy needle rather than a V chisel or a blade. Try flipping it over so that you are cutting "down grain" rather than "up grain"
 
My favorite work was done my StumblinWolf out of Ohio. Matt was a real artist. Unfortunately I have lost contact with him.

I have done a little geometric etching, but no animals or scenes.

I live near stumbling wolf, and have several items of his horn work. Drop me a line at [email protected] if you want me to try to contact him for you. I believe his work to be top of the line. If you send me your email I could send you some pictures. I don't know how to post pictures on the new site.
