It is about 14” around the outside curve. The Walnut base is about 2 ˝” it is held in with 4 steel pins underneath the base band, a wire staple for the strap. The tip is Whitetail antler and is held with 4 wooden pegs. The two center bands were heated and pressed on , then pinned with 3 steel pins each. The base band was heated and pressed/tapped on, no pins. Half its width is on the base.
Again the idea for this horn was taken from Bill Ivey’s North Carolina School of Long Rifles 1765-1865 and Michael Briggs’ Piedmont North Carolina Banded Powder Horns Hunting Bags and Bullet Bags.
