This wood sculpture is made with a piece of scrap I rescued at a furniture shop. I'm not sure what wood it is but would guess it is walnut. Notice the bark at the bottom and sap wood next with the final layer of heart wood on out to the tip of the horn. I molded the base in wax and cast it in bronze which gives the piece sturdy support.
At first glance, the name "horn" seems to imply an animal horn but I guess it might also indicate a musical horn or device to sound a signal. It is fun to mentally twist this piece to different positions to fit the various possibilities of the "horn".
