Definitely: maybe rosewood, or something similar?JerryVan wrote: Sun Mar 23, 2025 2:32 pm I like it! Looks as if with a bit of tweeking, it could resemble circassian walnut.

I like it.. Maybe you could refine your method to give it a more grainy loot but it still looks good. Tom

Re: Repainted Cygnet Horn
Yes Jerry, please share how you did it. The results are amazing.FellowCollector wrote: Sun Mar 23, 2025 3:56 pm I think you did a nice job, Jerry. Very interesting results. If you decide to share how you did this (ie. which stains you used and how you applied them) it would be appreciated. I have a good number of decent original black Cygnet horns and a couple of decent original faux wood grain Cygnets but one of my Edison oak grain Cygnet horns has considerable flaking paint (very common for the faux oak grain horns). It would be fun to try my luck at doing what you did with this horn if you care to share how you did it.
