A Pair Of Ringed Horns
« on: April 29, 2013, 06:50:09 PM »
They are both about the same so I will only give the size for one. About 14”around the outside curve. Walnut base partially hollowed out and held with 7 steel pins. The tip is horn (on the original it was Walnut but I had already made the two tips before I remembered that detail) it is pinned on with 3 steel pins as are the 3 rings.
 They are based on a horn shown in both Piedmont North Carolina Banded Powder Horns Hunting Bags & Bullet Molds by C. Michael Briggs and William Ivey’s North Carolina Longrifles 1765-1865.

I had to look twice to see the difference between them. Very nice pair.

Tim , beautiful set of horns. I love the way your dye accented the growth rings in the horn. I always look for those things in horns I am working on.

I really like the grain on the top one. Awesome work as usual. :)
