A new Powder Horn

[PathfinderNC]

I bought a cow horn and decided to carve it into a Powder Horn this weekend. I couldn't decide what to design on it, so I just left the body blank.
Thoroughly enjoyed making it, even when I messed-up trying to file some straighr border lines. Oh well, it's folk art!

I think you should hang your head in shame for creating such a beautiful work of art. When you can no longer stand the embarrassment, send the accursed horn to me to lift that shameful burden from your shoulders.
Very well done !

I used different rasps and files. For the “scrimshaw” I made a stylus from a nail in a dowel.
