A Powder Horn for a friend

[PathfinderNC]

I just finished this horn for my neighbor and friend who I am teaching how to shoot his new Flintlock rifle. He asked it to include a map of his home region and his older brother's name in remembrance.

Another great piece!

Another great piece of art. I'm sure your friend is happy to have that one!

Nice. That map is my neck of the woods.

 

[JEBMs]

Your friend has a good friend

 

[Brokennock]

WOW!!!!
I always love that yellowish color against the redish-brown that you manage to achieve so often. The map is fantastic. Size and shape are perfect.
That is one fortunate friend and neighbor,,, and extremely kind and generous of you to do.

Beautiful as always, Pathfinder. I was wondering … what does your own personal horn look like?

Beautiful as always, Pathfinder. I was wondering … what does your own personal horn look like?

Thanks. I have two rigs that I use: the first one is for my two rifles (I made the bag and two horns) I made that set in 1985 or so.
The other one is a recent horn that I made with Liberty on one side and Freedom on the other. I kept it because I cracked the plug trying to drive a fat staple into a small hole. I use this one for my Fusil.
I have a few nice horns that I keep for myself in a display cabinet rather than selling them, and some I wish I never sold!

I absolutely love your work.

and some I wish I never sold!

I can believe that!
Your work is at the confluence of craft, art, and skill. The knowledge & inspiration, then the design and execution... just outstanding! Reckon there's some love in there too.
