Powder Horn “Sidedness”

[Wncman]

I’ve been admiring the beautiful powder horn artistry on this forum by many contributors. Reading about them and trying to become educated, many questions have come up. There is talk about sidedness; this one carries best on the left or right, etc.
So how does one properly carry a horn?
What makes a horn a left or right side?
If I shoot right handed, what side should my horn be?
And why?
How does one select a horn for a new build? Most on line sellers (Etsy, EBay) sell you a horn like it’s a grab bag. You get what they send.
Thanks in advance for the free lesson in hornery

And special thanks to PathfinderNC for the three part tutorial on horn building. I hope to give that a try soon.

I think the side you carry on is up to the individual. What feels natural. One could have a horn that is more or less straight and could be carried either side depending on the occasion or mood.

Wow, nice carving. I really thought that was a separate ring.
