A young Powder Horn Maker

[PathfinderNC]

My son Christian has shown some interest in making horns so we had our first horn-shaping workshop today. He’s off to a good start!

That’s great! My son is 18, he loves working with his hands and is a natural. I just can’t get him interested in anything BP related. He loves to shoot and reload for the modern stuff, but won’t touch the fun stuff.

Do you need another son?

 

[Smokey Plainsman]

If that's his first horn that's a DANDY and he looks like he might be gifted at it. Keep it up, Christian!

Hell of a good job and still smiling is a good start, all while under the tutelage of DAD! Seriously, It's good to see a kid take interest in something that can provide years of joy at a young age.
Congrats, DAD!

Thank you Terry- you are so right

Young man is lucky to have such an impressive artisan to learn a craft from, I hope he knows it!

It is a slow process trying to introduce traditional crafts to a generation absorbed within the internet universe. So any small progress is a great accomplishment. Little by little…

Wow! That's a great horn especially for the first one. The shape is fantastic and represents a lot of work.
Great job!

A great job, tell him I can't wait to see his products on our pages.

He's a talented young man, just like Dad.....only younger!

What a great day that was. He'll remember it forever just like Dad will.

looks great from my house ... keep going

 

[VA Hawken]

That is truly wonderful!

We need more young people getting involved in our enterprise . It is good to see him involved. His horn is much better than the one my boy made when he was 14. I just wish my boy would have stayed local and kept involved.

I wish at least one of my sons were at least interested in guns and/or history. BP would be a bonus! But... just too bad! I'd be proud like you too.
Not that I'm not proud of them but it would have made me an even happier dad!

He has a Master in the Arts of a teacher
