Salt or Priming Horn

[davec2]

Had another small horn tip that I almost made a powder funnel out of but decided to make a salt horn (or priming horn) with it instead.  Turned ebony base plug held in with thorns and with a threaded, removable cascabel.  Tip plug is turned Lignum Vitae with a struck brass makers mark pinned to one side facet.  Nautical theme, the engraving is a little more sophisticated and detailed than the geometric design used on the pocket horn I posted last week.  Fun project for two evenings - one to make the horn, one to engrave it.

Beautiful turnings Dave! Always admired your work especially the knives.

1st :bow: wow! 2nd did you happen to fill the horn? Just wondering how many grains she dose hold.
When I see that horn, my mind goes to a sleek .32 and an afternoon squirrel hunt.

That's way too good for salt. That belongs with a very expensive fowler, carried by the gunboy..., he'd be the one to the right of the Ghillie, and he'd be the one to the right of his Lordship, as they cross the heath in quest of grouse while they follow a pair of setters.
