For some time I've searched for a proper horn with the perfect twist to fit my carry, found one that I turned into my first lobed horn.
She's on a 16" curve and started life with a monumental amount of material to be removed. Extremely pleased with how she turned out. Decided to give the lobe a scalloped boarder then some simple carvings with a reduced neck and a two piece stopper from ash and a piece of the residual horn tip left over. The base plug is a piece of eastern red cedar from my grandfather's forest so that's a special touch. Everything is sealed tightly with beeswax and four iron tacks and dyed black with ink. Now for some tasteful scrimshaw work once I settle on a design and theme. For some reason I just can't capture the right angle to showcase the graceful curve and twist. She's there none the less!
