Another Rum Horn

[JohnL]

I just finished up another rum horn; this one is a Christmas gift to a friend and retired coworker who lost his wife this year. I’d like to hear your thoughts of the design and craftsmanship. “A Mule’s Ear of Rum” is a saying my friend used nearly every afternoon when we got off work. He says that’s about four ounces lol. Thanks and Merry Christmas!

Looks nice. Still can’t figure out why you don’t put the drinking hole on the belly of the horn to enable getting the last drop of liquor effortlessly.
Down below the letter R instead of up above the letter A.

Nice job! Really like the maple.

First time using it, but will not be my last. Thank you.

It looks good John. There is something about those rums horns I've never understood. To me, it seems almost impossible to pour any rum out of them without spilling it. I suppose you could just put a liplock on it and drink straight from the horn.

Next- try making one with a screw in plug that can be switched out for a screw in spout.

I need a mentor to teach me how to do that Ames!! I’ve been studying the manner in which they cut threads into them.

For liquids, don't forget a small rubber O ring.
I might have to try this myself.

Outstanding work!

 

[Bighorserider]

Beautiful work, but how do you get the last bit out with the plug on the inside of the curve?

 

[William Lincoln]

Beautiful work. Rum was more than a drink. It was medicine.
And it would likely have held some of Washington's whisky
just as well.

IF I WAS STILL DRINKING I KNOW I COULD GET THE LAST DROP OF RUM.

great looking horn!

 

[Black Powder Guy]

Looks fantastic. It will look great as a display horn.

remember that they were used as POISON HORNS_ filled with poison so that the INDIAN that killed me- I also killed him. because every time an INDIAN killed a person that carried one of them immediately went for the horn like a fly to sh%%, and the rest is history. just a little piece of unknown history.

Interesting, I read a lot and never have read that. Might get one of your buddy's also, him figuring you no longer needed your rum .
