Another new project

[Two Feathers]

Howdy folks, Two Feathers here:
I know my horn pics. are getting old, but here's one I just finished this horn this morning. I started on it back in January, but a few things came up and I got side tracked.
It's for a customer/member who is one of my best friends in the world. I couldn't figure out how to attach the strap and keep it in line without twisting. I tried twisted Silver wire, but it kept snapping off when I twisted it, so I ended up forging a split ring type of clip and strap staple. I think it looks pretty good. The strap is only 1/2" wide and I didn't use a buckle or any adjustment method. It hangs about perfect on me. I kept it as PC as I could. The spout plug and cap are Black Walnut. I tacked in the cap with solid Copper nails then wax sealed it where it meets the horn. It has my signature and logo on the strap and my signature Acorn finial with a threaded insert for easy filling. It has my Leather washer/gasket to seal the fill hole too. I know some of y'all don't like my Acorn finials, but they've been my method of filling for 40+ years. I'm 74 next week and I'll probably NOT change that now?
The horn started out mostly White, but I used my "process" to make it Chocolate Brown, it's permanent.
I hope someone (besides the owner) likes it? I have to make another one by the end of August. Hopefully that one will come out the same?
Thank you for any feedback, positive or otherwise. Sorry for the picture quality. I'm not as good at it as a lot of the guys here are.
God bless:

I like it very much. I need to get me a horn.

Thank you. It's a day hunt horn, NOT a supply horn. It'll only hold about 1/2-3/4 of a pound of powder, not a lot, but enough for a good hunting trip.

Very neat idea, but I respectfully do not see the benefit for me. The hole in the plug is still going to need a funnel. Guess I am too lazy to do what you did. Nice job!

I'm sorry, but short of coming to fill it for you, that's best I can do.:~))
Thanks for the feedback and compliment.

[TDM]

Looks great!

 

[Two Feathers]

Looks great!

TDM:
Thanks my friend. It took a lot longer than I had anticipated, but the new owner wasn't in a hurry? He kept insisting that I take my time, knowing my situation.
I'm certainly NO horn artist like a lot of the guys here. I only make "users." I can't get fancy, NO artistic ability.

[Reds]

Really like its Original Antique look and sheen. Definitely will be a Great Hunter Horn. And I’m very happy to see and read you’re getting better all the time enjoying what you enjoy!!! Keep it up, Reds

Excellent work, as always, Dave. I really like the color you achieved on the horn.

two feathers what a great horn. It's a good working horn . The beauty is in the subtlety of it. Great job, Bruce

 

[MSW]

babstooge:

MSW:
Thank ya.' much. Not a lot of thought went into it. It just kinda' turned out like it did. Making the strap clip took the most design work.

[Two Feathers]

Excellent work, as always, Dave. I really like the color you achieved on the horn.

rmefbowhunter:
Thanks. The color was the least amount of work.:~)))
I'm glad you like it. It looks like I have a few more to make now? I'm back to making the pan primers again.
God bless:

Reds:
Thanks. I'm not where I should be yet, but I'm working at it. I have 2 followups at the end of this month. We'll see what happens? I could end up back in the hospital if they can't figure why I'm always so exhausted. 5 minutes after I get up I need to go back to sleep? Walking 30 feet plays me out?
