Powder Horn photos

[Caterpillar Hunter]

I know this horn isn't historically correct and it's my first attempt. The horn was from an enormous, deceased, old bull in the Arizona desert. Anyway, I scratched in some of my favorite things from the woods I hunt, including a copperhead, and sassafras, paw paw, and black jack oak leaves. For some reason, a red-spotted purple butterfly liked the horn as well.

Had this one up for 24 hours..........its gone! This was a fun one to make!

If you ever make another one of these bad boys, mark it SOLD and let me know!

Just let me know and I'll get a white horn in the next order.

I say get it. That said, let me know before you start on it. I'd like to discuss a couple of options before you start fabrication.
BTW, today I picked up the day horn you made for me and it is perfect! If you ever need a reference, feel free to give them my name. You are a true craftsman!

remember that butterfly's are a good judge of character. if they like it, it is OK!!

My favorite for hunting. Smallish and flat, delivering about 12 loads for my 58, about twice that with my 40 cal.

That's absolutely gorgeous! I'll step in line with the others & say the next one you create, mark it sold & contact me! If that's your first, I can only imagine what future horns you'll turn out. Great job! Don't stop there.

Thank you.

Wow, there are some great examples shown here! Mine are rather pedestrian compared to most of these. I did try to make a large flat horn but I split it while fitting the plug.

I decided to chop it down and make a hunting/day horn out of it and plug it with a piece of walnut. It’s thin enough on the sides to check the powder level when held up to the sun and it’s airtight.

Thank you. I just received a new flat horn to work with and it’s HUGE. I’m going to try to make a plug/cap from cherry wood for it.

Cap, this is the bag. One of the fun things for me is researching, and finding things, even if they aren't directly related to what I'm looking for. This is a German coat of arms for my last name, which is of Saxon derivation and fairly common in England. I figure he was probably a mercenary and when they rang the bell he would arrive with his company of archers, earning him a place at the table, so I shamelessly stole it, hah!

My first attempt at a horn. The map depicts the Fishkill Supply Depot. Located about 60 miles north of NYC, was the Continental Army's military stores for much of the Revolutionary War, and is about 20 miles from me.

Awesome photos, I have a set of Texas longhorns from Texas, my son gave me before I moved up north. I would be willing to trade for something.

Here are a few of my most recent lobed horns.
