    Default Highland Cow Horn and Antler

    Highland Cow and Antler


    I finished this pair on Friday.





    The Highland Cow horn, has a walnut base, with two mosaic pins, and sports a 24mm Finest knot, set at 50mm.







    The polished Red Deer antler also has a walnut base, single mocaic pin, but with a 24mm Best knot, again set at 50mm.












    They both felt good in the hand. I did not have to add any weight, as is sometimes the case, especially with horn.











    All work by hand, other than boring the hole for the knot, and final finishing with a buffing mop.




    Steve.

    I like how you used the natural shape, but yet still paired with other materials. Nice job

    Very nice, I really like to see a non-symetrical brush handle (not turned) once in a while.
