Little powderhorn

[David Rase]

Inspired by one of Tim Crosby's little horns that he posted quite a few months back I pulled this little horn out of my pile and decided to put it to use.  It is 7" around the outside curve with a hard maple base plug and horn tipped stopper.  To mount the strap on the base plug I used another piece of horn tip threaded 12-24 and threaded into the base plug.  Now I just have to figure out what I will do with this little guy.

Dave,

Tell us about those square pegs!  Mine don't look like yours, when I drive my square pegs into my round holes.

Love it Dave. Can't wait to see it in person. I'm becoming a big fan of little horns.

Ron,
The pegs are shoe pegs I bought from Mike Small years ago.  After I drill holes through the horn and into the base plug, I square up the holes in the horn with a square needle file.  I leave the holes in the base plug round.  Mike told me that he heats up an old square needle file and burns the holes square.  Looks like either technique will work.

That is one handsome and useful horn. If it does go on the block for sale I'd be a buyer been watching for a practical sized horn.

Thanks Dave.  Those pegs are too cool.  Great looking horn.

A smaller horn just makes so much sense to me.
Even at that, it holds about 10 times more powder than I
need when I am deer hunting. Squirrel hunting takes
multiple 30 grain loads on a good day and that horn
still holds enough to do the job.

Nice job on the horn. The square pegs really set it off.

 Nice job David. File work looks great and I like that little "Swell" in the neck, looks right.

Wow!  Very nice.  Am I allowed to say "cute"?
