Title: First horn attempt.
Post by: Rt5403 on November 01, 2022, 11:13:57 PM

Finished my Fowler and wanted a horn to go with it. Decided to take a crack at it. Not near what some of the masters I've seen on here but hopefully it will hold powder.

I think you've done a good job on that horn.

What type of wood did you use for the plug and stopper?

It's pine. I just used some left over iron nitrate to stain it.

Pretty darn good for a first (second, third or even twentieth) attempt.  You should be very pleased.

Very nice!  I hope my first attempt comes out anywhere near that nice.

That was a nice touch, it worked well.

Staples in got it strapped up and ready for powder. Got horn straps and staple from powder horns and more good company to buy from.
