Here is my first horn finally completed. It is a screw tip based off of a couple examples of Northampton horns I found online. Thanks to Tim, Marc and everyone else for your advice. There is a lot of work that goes into these things.

First horn? It looks quite professional. You can wear that one with justified pride. God Bless, Marc

My wife’s response was “Holy Moly!” That means she is impressed. 🙂

I like that powder horn.Great job!

Thanks for the compliments. I followed Tim Crosby’s tutorial. The thing is huge. It holds right under a pound of powder. The quality of the tutorials on this forum make it difficult to take credit. That little screw tip portion was quite expensive but I now have a lathe in case I ever need it.

I like it, too. So, do you wish it was smaller?

I like it large. I don't have to fill it as much.

Oh, do take credit Mike - you obviously soaked up Tim's tutorial quite well. You know the old saying about leading a horse to water and not being able to make it drink? Well, you went to the well and drank the cool aid like a champ. Very nice job, may the horn serve you well.

Mike, that is some fine work. Makes the little one I am plugging along at look pretty crummy. You do make some finestuff.

That is a very nice horn. You would never know it was your first attempt. Tim provided me a lot of help also, when I started to make screw-tip horns.
