postleg Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 Here are some pics of a longhorn skull I just finished. I made it for The Nebraska Cattle Mens Ball art show. It has a 52 in horn span. The horns were made from old air brake shafts from simi trailers. The skull is made from 1/8 in sheet steel. This is the first piece I've made for this show.

bigfootnampa Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 It is very nicely done! One small suggestion is that I notice in a few views the support plates behind the nose area and perhaps those could be notched or moved up a bit to keep them hidden? I like the way you left some hammer marks on the horns! I am NOT a big skull fan but I LIKE this! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VaughnT Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 Very nice work. Is it wrong that I spent just as much time looking at the wonderful shop surrounding the horns? Yea, I'm jealous! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
