I decided to make a day horn for short hunting sorties. It has a more traditional look. As you can see I like to hunt hogs when I can. Thanks for looking.

Looks like you have it set up for a strap. What are the dimensions on the horn.

I'm really fond of day horns, and this is a notable example. I've always carried mine loose in my bag, but the strap setup on yours has me thinking. Always a dangerous thing! :rotf:
 
Nice job on the horn and engraving! ...Question? Is it the angle of the horn in your picture or do you have the strap staple mounted sideways? Just wondering..can't tell for sure.

Very Nice! I like it. What did you use to age it? I have a couple of horns I'll be working on soon.
 
Thanks for the kind words! The horn is about a foot long, I put a Goex can in the pic for perspective. The staple was for a lace, that's why it's vertical, so it hangs right next to my bag. To color the white horn, I used Tandy water soluable saddle tan leather dye. I sealed it with Minwax flat wiping polyeurathane finish.
