Making a fool of myself!

[merlinart]

While I agree that making the cow horns may not be that difficult, there are cherished suppliers who have the right thing in stock. Why go to a lot of trouble making an average or poor copy of a readily available correct item?
If they were not available by return post or if you were stuck for a repair in the Shetlands I'd understand but I believe in giving an established expert his due and the craftsman his wage...

Hence getting mine from Ian Tillman at Oxfordshire Sevens where I saw a bundle of them flat on his bench, presumably just come in from his laser cutting people.

I get lots of nonsense laser cut, sometimes not cheap and I do look and think I could have done it cheaper, but if you want goo looking stuff, sometimes best to have it laser or water jet cut.
