Thanks for the help, I now have 2 empty horns. I discovered that the core goes all the way to the tip (add more water) and boil for an hour or more. Now to allow them to dry?
Thanks much! I believe that I have not boiled them long enough, will try again. Made me recall Grandfather's instructions for kidney pie...."first youve got to boil the **** out of them".
I have 2 large steer horns with hopes to try making powder horns.I have boiled them but don't see that it accomplished much. The horn did soften some but the core does not seem to change. Any help appreciated. :idunno:
