Thanks for the compliments! (that's my head getting bigger. LOL)

The plug on the large horn is lathe turned and flat faced, shape of the horn dictated the staple be centered for it to hang properly no matter which side the user wears it on - I'll probably add some incised scroll trim on the plug just so it doesn't look so plain. I planned on scrimming it but haven't made up my mind yet as to what the subject matter will be (that's a hint about me being open to suggestions)

The plug on the primer horn has a small acanthus incised carving on it - pic below but it's not focused properly - picture taking is not one of my strong points. This was a piece of horn tip I happened to find buried in a box in an old shed. It's got a few spots where the bugs were at it but no holes completely through it, I think it gives the horn just a little more character.
