My Night Themed Rum Horn

That is really something.

Is the idea to sip rum from the little hole or pour the rum into a cup?

Seems sipping from the hole would be less wasteful.

Love the color and the artwork. Is the moon your design? It’s very imaginative, I like it a lot.

Sure, next time you sit with Billy Griner,, Thank him, and humbly ask for more lessons.
That is the only way a successful student can honor a teacher.

I needed another scrimshaw project since I have been down with some back and leg issues and was losing my mind watching movies while confined in my chair. This rum horn is my seventeenth horn with sixteen of them being scrimshawed; it is my third rum horn. My mentor, Billy Griner, incorporated many lessons in the construction of this particular horn to include many hours on a lathe. It was an experiment for us both, and took a life of its own. It is scrimshawed with a folk art night theme to include a fingernail moon with stars and a trail of stardust. A sleeping fox rests underneath while a possum hangs from the text box by its tail and holds my maker’s mark. The feather is a Whipoorwill feather. The text reads, “A mule’s ear of rum” in honor of my friend, Dan Chanclor. Many thanks to Mr. Griner for the patience, wisdom, guidance, demonstrations and assistance on this work of art! I’d appreciate any feedback; I’m still learning.
