Another tacky horn
« on: February 25, 2015, 10:21:10 PM »
Here are a couple photos of my latest attempt at horn making.  It is based on a horn from the pages of Bill Ivy's N.C. book.  The base plug and stopper are chestnut, the applied tip is buffalo and the strap button is turned and threaded horn.

 Nice work Dave, I know the horn. It is also shown in Michael Briggs' Piedmont North Carolina Banded Powder Horns Hunting Bags & Bullet molds

Nice Dave. Just when I was getting use to horns with no tacks now I gotta go back the other direction. Lol
