Philadelphia Style Horn
« on: August 06, 2012, 02:49:03 PM »


 It is about 16” around the outside curve. The Walnut base is about 2 ¾” it is held by 4 steel pins that also hold the band. The tip and collar are horns.

Great job Tim C. Should be a good carry horn at 16 inches. Over all great dimensions tip to butt. Thanks for sharing with the form. AJ

 Thanks LB but actually it is a righty. I'll have a lefty along in a week or so.

DB, you can also try getting Art DeCamp's book on all the screwtip styles that should be on the KRA website, and Art goes to great lengths to teach the students about all the detail characteristics on each style/school.  Valuable.  
In addition, for constructing a screwtip powder horn try the Book of Buckskinning Vol II, although it is for a York county style screwtip.  
For 'internal' style screwtip like Tim has done here, I believe there is a tutorial or two on this site that addresses the internal screwtip construction.

Tim,
It looks great, but I bet it's even better in person.  Will you have it at CLA?  I look forward to seeing the projects that ALR members bring to the CLA noon meeting, your's especially.

 Take a look at this, if you have any question just ask.

  If I am not mistaken it is out of print, it was published by Scurlock Publishing,see link below. Do a search on The Book of Buckskinning II and you will find copies for sale.

What a great horn Tim!  Its double curve is about perfect.  Very elegant.

   Tim, is it the cow's right side horn? Sure looks to me like it'll hang with the tip "in" on the left side carry. It sure has a great twist!

 Yes it is, the curve fits the right side perfectly and the twist pushes the tip out to the right just a tad.

I found a used copy at Amazon. I plan to make a horn for each rifle I build. Thanks, Tim.
