A couple of Horns I just finished.
« on: October 20, 2023, 11:07:13 PM »
Hi folks,
Here are some photos of two Powder Horns I have finished making yesterday and today.
I have been doing a lot of engraving these past several days- my fingers get a well-needed break now :-)

Bob, very nice traditional scroll work.
Please take this as it is given, …..this is what you should put on your next rifle as well.
In His grip,

The scrim on the next to the last photo would be great behind the cheek piece.
