Savannah Map Powder Horn

I just finished this horn. It features a map of Savannah and vicinity along the river. I got the map idea after reading about the failed American & French siege in 1779.

Nicely done, the shape of the horn itself is very pleasing.

I like the way the scrimshaw is kind of muted on this horn…not bold and in your face…well done !

Wow.
I can’t imagine how much time or patience that took. Sometimes, something exceptional leaves you speechless.

Thanks fisherking. I often get lost in time doing these and don’t keep track of it. This one though was a 26 hour project ( I kept track this time) since I was curious about it too.

The scrimshaw work makes the word "banknote" come to mind. Very nice.
