    Christmas gift.

    I'm pretty sure there's an unwritten rule somewhere that says, if you start making horns as a regular thing, you have to make at least one Tansel horn....(someone should check the bylaws or something.... :'( ) So, 2 years ago, give or take, I started on mine. Got the tip turned -antler- base...

    Father's Day Horn

    I had a lady at work come up to me and tell me that her husband (also works there) really likes my work and that she was thinking of getting him one of my horns for Father's Day.

    Southern Banded Horn

    Well I needed a break from the engraving game, so I thought I'd try an idea I had out.... didn't quite work though. I had thought I could get the lines matched up, but I didn't want to overdo them on the plug (like I did on the band!) and I had hoped to accentuate the overhang further up the...

    While I was down to Ft. Fred, I got into a discussion about swan shot(the tear dropped shaped type shot), now, admittedly I have done no research on the subject, but I am curious if this is something I can buy or do I need to make my own? If I need to make my own how do I - or - more...

    Ugly One!

    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"...

    Red Horn

    Just finishing this one up now. Measures 11" Outside Curve, and just under 2 1/4" inch base, flat pine plug. I usually like the "aged" look so I decided to try something a little different and since I've never made a red one before, so why not, right? :grin: Questions, comments, and...
