You need to work on your picture taking bud.  :wink:  The horn looks interesting with the antler, but I really can't see it well enough.

MY browser is giving me a pain tonight so I'm only seeing the thumbnail. I'd like to see a bigger/closer picture of the cow horn too. Looks nice though.

Now those are different. Nice work.
Is that antler aged and thats why it's so white?

Yes the antler is aged i cleared it to try and bring it back and it made it whiter.

Not with these but i have several rabbit talkers that ive used. If you come to the LBL this year you will be able to see them as the cow horns will be door prizes.

Ive never had much luck with my dialup conection when i tried the other day it worked perfect but now it just sets there it takes a while for all of the green bars on the bottom to load and then it just sets there all green, and says it failed after about a hour. It says the file may be to large but i dont see how i even tried to send the same pic threw.

Whoa they are nice. Are they real cow horns or something you made to look like a cow horn. Pretty slick whatever way you did it.   :congrats:

Yes they are real cow horns the tips are the original but the lower is painted and then cleared with automotive urethane and buffed i use this method on motor cycles and thought i would try some howlers to see how they looked thanks for your responses.
