Domestic goat horn priming flask
« on: February 19, 2021, 04:36:10 AM »
After trying to figure out what to make out of the Nubian goat horns I collected from my wife's goats over the years I finally came up with an idea the other night.  Below are the results.  Nubian goat horn body, sheet steel end caps, cow horn spout and ebony stopper.  Now to make something from the antelope horns I have sitting around.

Now that’s pretty sweet...and gives me an idea for a couple small goat horns a friend gave me. Nice work!

Pretty cool way to use the goat's horn, I like it and you did well.  I have a couple of them lying around the workshop and may have to do something about that.

Used to be a guy out of Arizona, Mike Shea I think, that offered goat horn primers and other items. I think he left them with more of the natural taper to a point if I remember right.
Yours looks like a pretty cool flask. I'm betting the texture of the goat horn makes it pretty easy to hang onto as well.

Neat Dave. Maybe add a little scrimshaw to the convex side?



Then we could guess who it most resembles? ::)
