That sounds interesting - got any pics?Gary I do the same with the horns I make, the only difference is my base "plug" is brass.

My horn has a screwed-in plug on the bottom. To refill the horn I unscrew the plug and screw in a brass funnel. It fills rather quickly with that system.I do not have any experience with using horns. I have collected a couple and viewed a few at shows, etc.
I think almost every one had the plug (large) end permanently attached. Some even with brads.
Fill them through the pour spout with a tiny funnel?!?!?
Pretty cool idea.I cut the rim off a .223 case and it fit tightly in my small funnel. Works perfectly.
Beautiful horns. Nice work.here (I hope) are some pictures of horns I made with brass plugs in the base. I make the brass plugs on my lathe using brass 1/2-13 all thread and then turning a pieces of 3/4 brass for the "knob" to hold a lace. I wax the all thread and tap the wooden base and put a thin coat of super glue on the wooden threads and screw the brass plug in for a few seconds and then remove to allow the glue to dry. This gives me a strong joint when I screw the plug back in.View attachment 129986
The one shown on that site is like the one I have. Been using mine since time began, no idea where I got it.
