My uncle thinks it belonged to a Texas longhorn. Long journey to completion. full size emperor in rhodium/black ti. Comments and critiques are welcome

How bad did is smell?

 

[seamus7227]

that is really awesome looking!! did you put a finish on it or just leave it polished?

 

[Sandsini]

The color variation is very nice! I have been hesitant to try horn, but I might just have to get over that. Nice looking pen.

Cheers,

Yes it smells delightful (not). Had to do a CA finish due to all of the character or cracks. Reverse painted it black.

I'm not usually a fan of horn...but that is beautiful. Well done!

Very nice, love the colors, great fit and finish... Awesome use of a
Bevo, but I bet that smelled terrible

Very Cool Phil! That is one striking pen!
This one will sell fast!

Beautiful Pen, Phil.
Love the appearance, colour and pattern of the Horn.
Glad you sealed it with CA, did you also CA the bore and the ends, to entrap the odour as well?
Ideally suited to the Black/Ti Emperor.
Excellent fit and Finish.
I only wish that the photographs were a bit sharper, but I am sure you will overcome that.
Outstanding work.
Brian.

Phil,
That is outstanding! Didn't you make one out of a Big Horn Sheep horn? Seems I remember that, and it too was a work of art! Again, well done.......Jan

I did, it was a Dall sheep. Made one from pronghorn antelope also. Warthog tusk and elephant ivory as well

Sweet pen!

Education question Phil...is the horn opaque enough that reversing helped, or was it a "Just in case" treatment?
Great looking work by the way!!

Why pix so big takes a long time to download.. good looking pen.

 

[firewhatfire]

Jim burr the reason is the opaqueness of the horn. Here is examples I have. Dall sheep on left paired white, warthog tusk in middle no paint, and longhorn on right painted black in top pic.

That is awesome! Great job.

Sweet pen! Congrats on a job well done!

Looks great! I like the color variations in the horn.

It might be a Longhorn. I see quite a few maroon vehicles down here with a bull on the back window that looks just like that with the horns detached.
