It has been a while since I made a naval themed powder horn and I thought that it was time again to do so. The horn construction itself is a fairly simple build, as most powder horns of the time where. No fancy carving of the throat area and spout and engraving, if any, was very simple homespun marks and lines in nature,...but occasionally an example would become a little special and professionally engraved for a person, or maybe a one time sailor or Naval office who wanted a special horn to tell his past and help him remember his days at sea or another part of his life. _____ This is such a powder horn.
Thank you and Happy New Year,
