Very interesting. How did you make the horn? add on? or just a different finish perhaps. Whatever you did, it was very effective. I like the way you mounted it on granite too.
Thanks for showing it.

The back of the piece is unfinished.
Marc
This piece is 24" long 16" high and 16" deep.
with the granite base it weighs about 75#
I think I'll try something smaller next time.
