Beautifull, John! Like cracker said, they should be in a museum.
Stringman:
Way to come through, jdub! I've only worked a horn one time, and that was years ago! I love the beauty and finish of your pieces. Curious, though, how will the strap look on the lower (bigger) end??

Easy-peasy, Scott-o! Just cut a slot in the end of the leather strap and it slips thru like a button. The finish work is simply 400 grit sandpaper very lightly run over the horn in the direction of the grain followed by beeswax and a heat gun. Work it in good and hot with a bit of muslin and keep polishing until the rag doesn't drag across the horn. Same for the finish on the walnut. The leather on the bag has also had plenty of hot beeswax worked into the grain in hopes of the bag being quite weatherproof. Just never know what kinda climate they might see. >:D
Stickbender, there ain't no Mrs and ain't been one for nigh on a decade. Something about the coffee being strong enough to eat out of the cup with a fork.
Mr. Stoneberg, if I can get into range, I can ventilate a piggie. In fact, I would love the chance to put a .62 cal solid lead roundball between a piggies eyes to see if it would knock 'em silly or if it would ricochet off!
mullet:
It would knock it silly. >:D
