Got bored. Had to do it.

I just saw your "Join or Die" horn with the rattlesnake rattle stopper. That is fantastic! Very creative.

 

[Ames]

Thanks. I have a monster French & Indian horn to do another snake tail on. This one will get every scale scribed onto it.

Another on the way this weekend. Moved these into the folder.

Old one. Made it for a friends retirement. Map is his area of the Adirondacks.
The base was made from a piece of apple from the wood pile.

really nice.

Keep them until august and you can send them to me as birthday presents. They are very nice

Made this for Dad, in his last year. He was from Clearfield Co. Pennsylvania, on the West Branch of the Susquehanna. I was born in Pittsburgh. Old family stories about our Clan's not so nice relations with the original inhabitants of Penn's Woods. And interactions with Geo III's troops.

Not exactly a 'horn', though some people call them horns.

That I really like

The English don't seem too keen on using Horn to hold their powder, nothing wrong with that, but I was making my version of an English fowler and wondered what a man of means might request for a horn powder flask. This is what I came up with. Hey, poets get license, why shouldn't I?! HaH!

Yeah. Gotta get up there again this year to fix that. Hours get late. Mistakes happen. But with a few strokes of the razor blade and a sharp needle I can ink it again.

A sharp needle, is get what you use to get your art work on?

 

[Ames]

I've tried other methods. A needle in a pin vise is my choice. Not for everybody though.

Hands started cramping up on this one. Mohawk valley, NY.
