Hi friends,
I just finished making this lobed style Powder Horn and am offering it for sale. Asking $210 plus $15 shipping to the lower 48. (USA only).
It measures 11" from base plug (old pine) to the tip. The width is 2" and 2 1/2" high. It wears best on the right side.
A bit about this horn: After scrimshawing the map of the Chesepeak Bay, I could not decide what to scrimshaw on the obverse side. I thought and thought and did all kinds of sketches. Nothing seemed right. So I put it aside and went about doing other stuff.
After dinner with the fam, it struck me: Do a Sloop. So I did a google search for 18th century Sloops and made some sketches, deciding on the one now on the horn.
It is a fictional boat; I named the Sloop "Mary See" using my kids' names: Mary and Christian (C, his first initial for "See") Hence Mary See. If I had a boat, I would definetly name her the "Mary See" :)
Thanks for looking!
