Another Apple Vinegar stained horn.

[gizamo]

Different batch of stain, heat applied this time. The baseplug was also stained from the same batch. I will make a strap up for it and dye and dubbin it from the same stain. Then a new shot bag to go with it...again stained from the same batch of dye.

Gizamo,

I gave up using vinegar many years ago when Cathy and I lived in a remote Eskimo village.  Vinegar was expensive to ship in by air and try finding onion skins.  So I went to the aniline dyes.  They gave me good results and I never thought about experimenting any further.  I have trouble keeping up with requests for horns.

Read the label on the vinegar, most now days is not real apple cider vinegar.  That horn of yours looks very nice.  Sorry to take so long in answering, spring is here in the rockies, at least in my little valley,  and we are busily getting ready for summer.

Scott,

Mud Season has arrived here in Maine.  Now we get to look forward to Black Fly Season.  I think the Black Fly is our State Bird. 

Thanks for the response... and yes- been using Real unpasteurized and unfiltered apple cider!
