Just About Done....
The horn is just about done; all I have to do now is put in a staple on the plug.

The scrimshaw came out decently well. I'm a relative novice at scrimshaw, so I'm sure I made a number of mistakes, but on the whole, I'm fairly happy with the look.
I had a great acorn spout plug that my friend Gus Tabor made for me, but I wanted everything about this horn to be mine, so I filed myself a crown-shaped plug to echo the crown on the coat of arms.
Comments and honest critiques are welcome. Let me know the good, the bad, and the ugly.
