A little update.
 Making some progress on #2 and #3.
 The thing im finding difficult is the vision of what to make with each horn I start.
 When to use a fiddle peg or an applied tip , should I engrail it
 Flat horn,  day horn, suppy horn etc.  Decisions decisions.
 I do have a large horn which will become a drinking horn at some point.

Thanks .
 Petah I did a peg with the flat horn  [ Invalid Attachment ]
 Still need to pretty up the bone tip some.
 Still perfecting my scrim work.
 [ Invalid Attachment ] .  A little Irish horn , I'll use some color for the shamrocks around the trellis.
 Maybe add a vine or something.

Now, THAT'S something I tried several times, but discovered scrim was waaaay above my pay grade.   ;banghead;

Looks like a good start, though, Kevin.

This is a combo of stencil for the lettering and free hand for the shamrocks etc.
 I use a font generator to find a style I like and transfer that to be horn.
 Then sit in my comfy chair in front of the idiot box and I scrim when the commercials come on. 1-2 hrs a night.
 Just go slow and inch by inch.  It's really not hard at all.
 Plenty of videos out there.  That's how I'm learning.
Go for it.

I don't know there ridjrunr.. I've only been Scrimming about a month or two.
  I like working with my hands and horns just need scrimming..
 We are at HR 40 of a power outage up in north idaho.
 Big wind storm. 
 Once power is back up I'll start # 4.
 Thanks for the kind words all.

For someone who is just starting out, you are doing great!  I have never tried making a horn and I have my doubts if I could do anything near to what you are accomplishing.  I am envious of your abilities!   :toast

I'm appreciate the praise.
 I'm not very artistic but I can follow instruction and pay attention to detail.
 I just watch a lot of YouTube and then give something a shot .
 Just picked up a couple leather shoulders to make a possible bag and a few other things .
 Just try. Whats the worst that can happen.
