    a couple horns I've done

    I just wanted to share pics of several horns I've done over the years. I've had a lot of fun doing these.

    WHOA! !

    VERY nice work !

    I especially like both the scrim and the antler containers.

    That is some beautiful art, IMHO. Tell me, the antler, did you have to hollow it a bit? Is that one more for use as a priming horn for a flintlock ?

    Gary, everything you do is a work of art. Lets see some other things you've done like some leather work other scrims or some metal work.

    The antler pieces are priming horns for flintlocks. They were hollowed out some. The base on the larger one is from a piece of wild cherry.
    I have a lot of enjoyment making these things. Thanks for the kind comments. These were possible due to gifts from my creator.
