This horn is a North Carolina Horn attributed to Randolph County. It is a copy of the bottom horn on page 285 of Ivey's book, North Carolina Schools of Longrifles. 1765-1865.
I had a horn that was a fair match for this (although I don't think it has quite as much curve as the original) and was quite thin. It is fairly transparent and I wasn't going to have material to do much carving on the throat. Pam likes horns that are not stained or dyed so this one was kind of down her alley so to speak. It was quite quick to do although I had to reshape the butt a couple of times to get it to look right. The tip has some pith in it but so did the original. I think the butt is a little large in diameter as the spacing between the tacks is a little more on mine than the original. Overall I think it came out fairly well.
