Looking for a book on power horns
« on: September 11, 2017, 09:06:25 PM »
Can anyone suggest a good book to read on how to make power horns?  I'm thinking I may want to try one.

Thanks in advance.

  Also American Pioneer Video  1-800-743-4675  Ron Ehlert made a VHS tape many Years ago, "Making Powder Horns",and I understand it it is available in CD,2 hours of showing how it is done,,I am a Type 3 learner,got to touch and see for it to sink in.Very good for the person starting out.

Great recommendation!...If you are truly interested in making traditional powder horns, this book can't be beat for starting out on the right foot!

Hi JB,

Don't take that offer from Tim lightly.  He is a super horner, and very prolific.  Hands-on learning beats a book any day. 

Best wishes, and God bless,   Marc
