Took a few minutes off of the rifle build and did a horn for it. Never carved or etched a horn before, but did my research and dove in with both feet. One picture is what I started with from Buffalo Arms, second pic is just now after cooking an hour in a hot british black tea and onion skin soup.
No ryme or reason or meaning to the engrailing, just sort of copied some stuff I thought looked good from some other horns. The wrap around scrimshaw is Betsy Ross's 13 stars, Ben Franklin's "Join, or Die", five Bible verses that are important to me, my name in "military scribe" font and the date the horn was made, the last couple sentences of Patrick Henry's famous 2nd Virginia Convention "Liberty or Death" speech in "Boston Font", and a very crude map of Virginia, northern Carolina, and the Shawnee territory just to the west, as known in the 1770ish time period
