Looking forward to getting this from across the big pond.
As you can see Cap'n B. made this horn into a brooch. Think the wife is going to be very pleased.
The logo signifies the business we were in. Horse stable, "Harmony Stables", and our love of driving horses and mules.
As a hand crafter myself, I think it is important to support the skills of a craftsman like Cap'n B.
We do craft trading here. You should try it in the UK. I send two of my tine' boxes to an artist, she paints one, keeps one. Every one is happy.
I can bend wood but I sure can't paint.
I talked about you, Cap'n B., at my monthly scroll saw meeting. They all wanted to know how you cut the horn.

Ask them for pricing information, and it might be worth saying you are thinking about a franking machine. They send business customers with their price list a frame like the one in the post office, so you can size your stuff.
No probs some of them look very familar.
