Just finished this one
« on: May 20, 2011, 03:26:29 AM »
Ive been working on this horn for a little while just in my spare time an finally got around to finishing it a day or two ago an thought you might want to get a look see. I like to have a horn and bag for the different rifles I have an this one I made for a rifle that I have not even finished yet cause I still have not bought up all the parts yet but Im slowly getting there.  It is a medium size horn for fffg powder that I will shoot in my 40 when finished. The plug is pine. The stopper is ebony fiddlepeg.  Outside curve is 10 ½ inches.  I didn’t measure anything  I just did everything free hand.  The tools I used was hacksaw pocketknife steelwool  and rit dye and johnsons wax. I also put the buttplug in its natural shape. Its crude I know but Im not trying to sell it although my grandsons are already laying claims to it. Hope you like it. I think it will serve its purpose

Great color, engrailed edge and general shaping there.
