My very first powder horn

[Cory Joe Stewart]

Was going through my shop and ran across my very first powder horn. I was lucky enough to meet a guy who was a substitute teacher in my highschool. He made horns, did leather work and scrimshaw. And he was willing to teach. I was 15 at the time.  Most of the shaping was done with a pocket knife with no workbench or vice.

Wish my first, second, or third looked that nice. Glad you found it.

Fine job, Cory Joe. I know you have many great memories from that time. I sure miss our old friend, Mike. He was an outstanding man.

When you settle down, get it out and display it prominently! It shows an appreciation for the art of powder horns, great architecture.

Thanks for sharing it.
