I was able to get the designs engraved on the auction horn this weekend. Just need to put a few finishing touches on it and I will call it done. The square building represents our Trading Post. The other structure is an open gazebo we have for outdoor gatherings.

Very nice! To do it for an auction is great way to share your artistic gift. Does the engraving give it that dark "burned" look or do you have to rub dye into it?

The engraving gets some sort if dye or ink to darken it. India ink, leather dye, lots of options.
