I have 2 antelope horns that are not attached to bone...So I am trying to figure out a way to make a powder horn out of it or maybe a priming flask, or ANY IDEAS FROM YOU GUYS????????
 
I have made both a small priming horn and a salt horn from mine. Cut the tip off square and drill the hole being careful not to blow out the side (the curve is much more acute than a much bigger cow horn). Cut the base off square, insert a plug that is the same shape as the base, pin in place and shape the outside as you wish. While the outside is fuzzy, it will smooth and polish up quite well.

Do you have any pictures that you can share with us?

I do, and will send them to you if you contact me by PM and let me have your e-mail.

They would make a really nice headdress with a bunch of ermine tails and such. One heck of a parade hat.
