Small Flattened Bag or Pocket Horn
« on: March 29, 2012, 10:20:32 PM »
Just Piddling around in the shop this last weekend and made this little horn.  Small and simple in construction and I engraved a 16th century mythical seahorse on it from an old wood-cut illustration.  Maybe I can call it a half a day horn!

7 inches long
2" base (top to bottom)
1" in thickness

Thanks for looking,
Rick

Very nice work really appealing.  It'd be real handy for a sub .30 cal rifle, call it a "squirrel gun horn".  One'd be neat with squirrels, oak leaves and acorns on it  wish I had that talent ;D

Now that's a neat little horn!  Nice job, Rick.

Times have sure changed. Gun control used to mean keeping the muzzle pointed in a safe direction

I'd love to try and make one, just don't know where to begin

  Love the one you made.

Chapple Jr,

Get a copy of the Book of Buckskinning VI, it has a whole section on making flattened horns.
