Sorry Don, don't mean to "Toot my own horn", but I have and regularly sell what you call "falsely aged" powder horns. (I think you meant, colored horn). And recently sold three NATURAL UNCOLORED POWDER HORNS on this forum in the last couple weeks and have taken a commission order for one more along with sales to several other forum members in the last year. Those old yellow gold horns you mentioned for the most part were colored dyed in the original state by old time Horner craftsman. Yes, some were not. Please do your research before making a statement like that, as there are a lot of fine craftsman and terrific Horners on this forum.Don Powell said:Find me one craftsman that totally adheres to the ways and tools of our elders. We use gas and electricity to boil water to mold our horns. And then we antique them by whatever method we find appropriate. When in actuality those old yellow gold horns we all so love are a product of time. You wanta be original. Try to sell a horn that isn't falsely aged.
What little scrim work I have done, I used a scalpel and a carbide scribe.Hot Iron said:horner75- I'm getting ready to scrim my first horn. What tool works best for you, or any others that have tried it?
