Double Screw-Tip Horn

[Tim Crosby]

 The idea for this horn came from page 302 of Art DeCamp's  book
 Pennsylvania "horns of the Trade" Screw-tip Powder Horns and Their Architecture
 The maker is listed as unknown. One of the things that caught my eye, other than the two part screw tip is the flare at the neck where the tip fits up to the horn, unique I think but defiantly part of the design as it gives the strap an anchor point.
 The outside curve is about 14". The Walnut plug is about 2 1/4", it is hollowed out and held in place by 4 Nails. The two part tip is Horn and is threaded 5/8-11 as is the collar that screws onto the horn.

Neat work Tim. That seems like a feat of lathework and fit/finish. That is a great book too.

Very nice!

Tim, what are you using to cut the threads?  Curious what lathe you are using because it tends to take low RPM's to cut threads.  Don't ask me how I know that but I can tell you how far a horn will fly at 500 RPM's.

Tim, Everything about the horn looks great!  I like that slight flare

 Take a look at this, it may help.

I always like your horns, this one is no exception. I need to get Art's book, it's on my list but it's such a long list.

Love that horn. It is understated yet gracefully functional. Excellent work Tim.

I'm always impressed when a screw tip horn has good flow. Like this one!
