The idea for creating sculptures using Longhorns came from years of working with horns and developing a deep appreciation for the material. The colors and shapes are like nothing else found in nature. Each piece is created to focus purely and simply on the beauty of the horn. While sorting through the hundreds of horns that I work with each year I set aside the ones with the most beautiful, interesting, and unique colors and shapes and those are what are used for the sculptures.

Symmetry
An absolutely beautifully colored pair of Longhorns with perfect symmetry in the shape and colors. The coloring is hard to describe as there is really nothing like it. They are solid black with a mix of white that gives them an amazing marbled effect. Most Longhorns have similar coloring patterns, but very few have exactly symmetrical coloring as these do. Horns are placed together and attached to emphasize the symmetry of the coloring and shape and also to cover as little of them as possible. A truly unique piece. Click on images to enlarge.
