New Tansel Powder Horn
« on: September 21, 2012, 08:51:18 PM »
My friend Rick Lorenzen has been busy putting the final touches on a powder horn that he made for me. I have always wanted a Tansel style horn and very soon will be giving this one a good home.   ;D  Here are a couple of pictures of his work that is still in progress.

Super nice.  Where did the idea for the unusual federal eagle come from?
I really like it.
Rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others. I do not add 'within the limits of the law' because law is often but the tyrant's will, and always so when it violates the rights of the individual.

Rob, you'd have to ask the Tansel's that. It looks very much like the original it appears to be patterned after to me.
Very well done.

Now that is a sharp looking horn.  

   Been wanting to try making one,  just keep talking myself out of it

   I think I need more experience.

Major, you'll love this horn as Rick is a top notch horner.   Very nice looking job so far.

It is a nice looking horn and I thank you all for your comments! Rick has a lot of talent and is a good friend as well. This is my third powder horn from him and I'm sure it won't be the last!  I've been contemplating a F&I war era map horn in the future.  :D  :o    Rob, this Tansel style horn has two American eagles taking bites out of a British lion between them. It is similar to an original Tansel made to commemorate the War of 1812.
