My TGLB is pretty, she's soooooo pretty! ( well, she's close)

[Jroden5446]

Nearly done, need to hit Home Depot tomorrow to pick up some more 1 by 30 belts for the final shaping and contouring and polishing. Still a good bit of work, but the hard part is done. Changed, was going to do sheep horn, but figured, what the heck, go big or go home!

Still got some chunk to her, she will be shapely in a few days

I'm pretty sure someday we'll be looking at Jared's sub-forum on bf! Nice job! :thumbup:

Wow that looks amazing! Very pretty horn. What type fasteners will you use?

I'm torn there, I have black micarta, brass, or titanium to choose from

I think brass will look the most " classic"

But I'm not sure just yet

Brass! And while you're at it, maybe some brass bolster/guards too?

Nice job. Nice pix. :thumbup:

 

[Torm]

That's looking great already, it's going to be a beaut once its shaped.

 

[Jroden5446]

Thanks guys!

I thought about brass bolster, but I've never done metal like that

 

[Heb412]

Nice. Hope to see it when done.

 

[Gusbuster]

:thumbup:Looking good, can't wait to see the final product.

 

[leatherman]

Holy Crap that is nice! The musk ox horn is wonderful stuff! I look forward to seeing this one done!

 

[BePrepared]

that thing is going to be BEAUTIFUL!

 

[DanR217]

That horn is awesome!

 

[Tom Kanik]

Jared, your work always looks great!..:thumbup::thumbup:

 

[knife hunter]

WOW! She looks awesome!. Love the musk ox:thumbup:

 

[Jroden5446]

Can't wait to get home to finish her up. The horn is still only at 60 grit finish, I wet it for the pics, but it feels like sharkskin, smooth yet grippy at the same time. The higher the polish the prettier, but she's a user so I'll have to play it by feel

 

[knife hunter]

us too. Go ahead and punch the clock and leave early

 

[Jroden5446]

Got her pinned, thinned down and fit to my hand. Now the final detail stuff, but that's for another day

 

[high desert]

awesome

 

[Sethrotull]

Dang that's nice!
