Powder Horn Project Finished

[JohnL]

I just finished this powder horn for a friend of mine who had to take a medical retirement; it was intended to be a campaign horn of his public service career. Billy Griner, my Horn Guild mentor, assisted and guided me in the construction of this horn. Daniel Lamping made the strap. I designed and cut all of the scrimshaw. This is my 15th horn and the 14th scrimshaw project. It was a secret project, so I waited to post until after it was delivered. Thoughts? Thank you for viewing!

STUNNING!! Great job.

Beautiful job! Definitely a labor of love and the finish looks super authentic. It would pass as a museum piece.

@JohnL, that is a magnificent horn. Three Huzzahs to you, to Billy Griner and to Daniel Lamping for your combined efforts to produce such a fine horn. It should be treasured by your friend.
