Rework a cheap foreign horn

[hockeyref]

So when I first got into rock locks I bought a cheapo imported horn on sale at Gander mountain. I was wondering if anyone has manages to make an ugly silk purse from one of these sows ears? Can’t help thinking about pulling/replacing the base plug, sanding the spout down and making a wooden turned or carved spout extension to epoxying on.

When you buy from El Cheapo what’s the worse that can happen?
My only horn job was a $6.00 horn bought at Tandy. Had it for years. Pulled the plug, gave an octagon shape to the tip and fitted a nice strap.
Gave it to a friend

Already has octagon tip shape. Was thinking about going round and adding the extension. Sad to say, but it is my only horn. . Fubar means I buy a new one - either raw as a project or already finished. Not that I don’t want another project, but it is christmas and funds are thin.
