Here is the next horn in my series of applied tip horns.
14" overall on the bottom curve, less the baseplug. About 2 1/2" in diameter at the base.
Right side carry.
Quite translucent.

The tip started out to be a totally different design, but by the time I removed all the delaminations, it took on a life of its own. Kind of looks like the nipple on a baby bottle to me now. :P
Birch pegs secure the baseplug.
Thanks for looking, as always comments/ critiques welcome.
I will be putting it up for sale next week sometime.

looks like you're starting to get the hang of this hon making thing, another 10 or 20 years and you might be ok! :yessir: :lol sign

I think in another 20 years, I will be making horns in the Great Workshop in the Sky. Not too sure about the demand for them there, though.

Very nice! Does that have a staple on the butt for the carrying strap?
Would it be possible to use a single color background for your photos? The baby bottle teat is a tad hard to make out for my aging eyes! :laffing

Sorry, Kees, that tablecloth is pretty busy, isn't it? But colorful, for sure.

I like that the horn's thin enough to see the wood grain of the hidden portion of the plug.. :toast
