First horn attempt

[Trad4me]

This is my first attempt at a powder horn. I purchased the base horn mostly cleaned up and polished but there were lots of rough spots and ridges. I did file flats on the lower part but they're hard to see. I might end up staining at least the lower part but we'll see. Then a strap and cord to retain the spout plug and I'll use it.

Looks good to me. Perfect for a day trip.

Yep, it should do. It holds nearly 2000 grains of 3f.

If you decide you don't like it, I'll send you my mailing address.

Or.... A light colored horn like that just begs for some scrimshaw.
