Tiercel 6,986 Posted March 28, 2014 Report Share Posted March 28, 2014 (edited) Did you block the horn? If not, the walls might not be thick enough to carve. It looks OK as it is though. TC Edited March 28, 2014 by tiercel 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
huntmad. 67 Posted March 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2014 I checked how far it was hollow to an I made the stick fit the full length of the hollow part , say 2" up from the handle an it's solid all the way , iv seen a lurchers head carved into the tip an it looks real good but don't know where to begin to be honest Quote Link to post Share on other sites
