First horn attempt.
« on: November 01, 2022, 11:13:57 PM »
Finished my Fowler and wanted a horn to go with it. Decided to take a crack at it. Not near what some of the masters I've seen on here but hopefully it will hold powder.

I think you've done a good job on that horn.

 You are on your way, be careful it is addictive.

What type of wood did you use for the plug and stopper?

It's pine. I just used some left over iron nitrate to stain it.

Pretty darn good for a first (second, third or even twentieth) attempt.  You should be very pleased.

Staples in got it strapped up and ready for powder. Got horn straps and staple from powder horns and more good company to buy from.
