I think this one is my favorite of all the horns I have built. Their have been some fancier and probably better looking but this was the first buffalo horn I ever did.

 I've only got 70 or 80 horns so it may be a little hard to choose :)  This old beat up one has served me well.

  This is my favorite powder horn.
 I found it near Ft.Michlimacinau about 1960. About a mile or so from the fort. There is one identical to it in the forts museum. Oldtravler

This is one my favorite horns due the simplistic nature of it....don't mind banging it around in the woods so much.

What a wonderful sampling of horns!! Thank you all. From the red butt yellow horn on the pretty kitty, the simple beauty of the less is more horn, the satin gleam of the black buffalo horn with white accents to the highly engraved silver banded horn. Incredible!!
