Federal Eagle Engraved Powder Horn
« on: October 25, 2024, 09:06:01 AM »
Finished my latest powder horn engraving! 🦅

Proud to showcase this federal eagle, symbolizing the strength and freedom of our nation. I also added one of my favorite quotes by Thomas Jefferson that resonates deeply with the spirit of independence:

“Resistance to tyranny is obedience to God.”

Every detail in this piece is a tribute to the enduring principles that built this country. Grateful to work on projects that remind us of the importance of liberty.

This horn will be donated to the November NMLRA Primitive.
