Mark Olde Small Horn



This small horn was made and engraved by Mark Odle in 1992 and repaired by me this spring. I found it this winter with some other items in the workshop. Over the years, it had developed a crack. So I removed the base plug, burned a couple of holes in the side, put some hide glue in the crack and used copper wire to pull it together. Then I replaced the base plug and liberally coated the crack and the plug with beeswax. Good as new. The horn, minus the spout plug, measures 3-1/2".
