Shaping Cones

(1/4) > >>

Berks Liberty:
Can anyone point me in a direction where to pick up a couple of Wooden Shaping Cones to form powderhorns.  I've attempted to make some with out the use of a lathe but I can't get a perfect cone.  Is there anywhere I can purchase some in different sizes? 

Tim Crosby:
Try Michaels or Hobby Lobby they sell cones that people paint up as Christmas trees. I have also seen a cone shaped utensil at a kitchen supply. Where are you?

James Rogers:
Scott Sibley used to sell some he had turned on the lathe.

D. Taylor Sapergia:
I went to Windsor Plywood - our local wood store, and bought a hardwood furniture leg.  It is 5" long, 3 3/4" at the big end, and 2" at the small end.  The threaded rod is 5/16" x 24 TPI.

Scott Brush:
Good idea Taylor, I imagine that was fairly inexpensive?

Jason,

Gary Ellsenbeck (sic), a member of the horn guild, makes and sells cones of different sizes on ebay pretty regularly (search "powder horn").  I'd guess they'll cost more than Taylor's furniture leg.
