New horn project, for the last time

(1/4) > >>

JW_Halverson:
I have reworked, restained, reworked again, scraped clean again, and stained yet again for probably the fourth time now.

It's clear that I should be done now. I really love the chocolate brown of the potassium permanganate stain on the spout and the boiled linseed oil on the7 walnut plug. I went through a fair bit of leather until I was able to be satisfied with the tabs and thongs on the straps, too.

Despite the four or five lbs of aspirin for the headache this horn gave me, I am reaching into the box for the next horn already, simply because I kinda like how this one finished out.

Now to find the address where I am sending it...

Pat B:
Boy, John she's a real beauty. You did an incredible job. Blood sweat and tears appreciated, I'm sure.   :OK

chamookman:
Nailed it - way cool  (A) ! Bob

Trapper Rob:
That turned out really nice JW. Do you weave the straps yourself.

ksnow:
Beautiful horn, JW. Would you mind sharing details of the dye procedure?
