Tell Me What You Think, Fella's!!

[dbiggers]

A few months ago i took an old F & I war horn that i bought and basically re-did it, had my wife do the art work, engrave some designs and then i dyed it too dark. So we scrimed the engravings in white ink so we could see the engravings, but it wasn't real, not totally ours. I really didn't know my butt from a hole in the ground about working on horns. Until i started chating with Scott Morrison ..aka.."41Aeronca" and he gave me the inspiration to start out with a raw horn and just go for it. Between him and the Sibley book, here's my "First", start from scratch, "Powder Horn" I need to thank my wonderful wife for her amazing artistic abilities, in the making of this horn. That girl can draw.. :wink:

These Picture's are from the beginning of the project to end... :thumbsup: Thank you "Scott" for all your help and encourgement. I hope to only get better from here.

Thank you fella's, sure appreciate the wonderful comments. Now if i could just get the ole lady to keep on with the art work, along with the carving, engrailing, sanding, etching, inking, dyeing, and antiqueing, :shocked2: then i could just sit back and enjoy seeing horns being made... :rotf:...while I sip on a big glass of cold, sweet, iced tea... :haha: :blah: :rotf:

Lord don't tell her i said that, or i'll never get her to draw on another horn, ever..

:haha: Danny.. :hatsoff:
