Another Plain Horn

[smo]

Well I got around toit' today! I got out and got a couple pics of the horn I made for my .62 smoothbore. It's nothing fancy as you can see but it serves the purpose. :thumbsup: Base is maple stained with aqua fortis and sealed with bees wax held in by round wooden tooth picks.Plug is oak from a old wooden kitchen chair that had seen it's better days. Brass base plug unscrews to fill the horn. The strap wasn't made made by me,I'm not that talented :redface: Staple was made out of a old coat hanger.

Nice!
If you have a steady hand you should try to do some scrim. If you shake like i do it's best to leave it plain. I messed up several good horns before that bit of knowledge sunk in.

I really like plain undecorated horns. Some times its just best to let the natural beauty of something shine on its oun.
