This is really a great blacksmith channel, I gave this horn method a try and made a goat skull keychain. Not nearly as clean and with a few more heats than you needed but the horns look great! 😄
That's pretty awesome. I'm fairly new at blacksmithing, but rams heads and demon heads and the like are some of my favorite ornamentation. I had the idea at one point of making the head big enough that you could use the mouth as a bottle opener, but I don't know if that's feasible or not.
I have got a new design with better pictures on Esty.

There are plenty of dragon head / demon head bottle openers.
Pretty fucking cool man!
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it!
This is cool...
Beautiful work. May I ask what you quenched in to give it that finish?
Any kind of oil would do.
Make sure the steel is hot so it burns into the steel.
Could you make these big enough to use as the head / handle of a cane?
