Octobers horn
« on: October 06, 2014, 09:18:39 PM »
Haven't been on much,been workin some overtime but the weather may have finally broke here in north Texas so I got this little day horn knocked out over the last 3 days, mixed in with some other projects. The butt plug was taken from that pc of firewood from the land where Aurora BP Club has there range at. The applied tip is turned mule deer antler. As always all secured and sealed with beezwax and mesquite thorns.( also from the same land) Questions,comments and concerns welcome.

Haven't decided yet but will probably add a staple on the butt end

To my eye, it would look a little better if the pins were a little further from the end of the horn.
Else, looks great.  Nice job.

I like it very much especially the use of repurposed wood.
