Small flat powder horn maker?

[ORBushman]

Years ago, I logged on under a different user name but forgot it. I purchased a small flat powder horn with a squirrel scrimshawed on the side of it and cannot for the life of me remember the forum member who made it! If anyone, or if that member sees this, knows of this individual please reach out to me as I want to purchase another one. Appreciate any assistance and thank you all in advance.

I don't have the horn anymore due to an unfortunate situation but, that is amazing because as soon as I seen the name, I remembered! Thank you very much! Do you know if he still makes horns or is a member here and if so, what his user name is?

I haven't seen him here or on the ALR for a long, long, time. Maybe he changed screen names?

Wasn’t that Horner75 or something like that…

Maybe he’s on the Honorable Company of Horners forum …
I think that was one of the last places I remember seeing the name..

I do remember the small flat horns with the squirrel on them.

I believe he's still on this side of the grass, have not seen him on any forums in some time but he is on facebook, SMO is correct he was Horner 75.

If I recall he lost his Wife a few years back and after that his posts were less & less…

I hope he’s well.

I don't do Facebook or any of that kind of social media. I knew it would be a long shot as I got that horn a good while ago. May just have to go with a plain one from a different source.

You could go over to the ALR forum and look up Bob Gerard and see if he'll take a commission, he does great work!

ALR=American Long Rifles Forum.
Crazy Crow Trading, also sells small, polished flat horns, with a stopper, at a reasonable price.

Great, thanks!

I looked at the ones from Crazy Crow and was thinking that might be a great option and I could try and scrimshaw my own design on it. I have a scrimshaw tool that I used to do my own powder horn back in '14.

I say buy you a small horn and give it a go!

What is this scrimshaw tool you refer too?

Thanks beavermsn2- much appreciated! ( I’m that Bob Gerard fellow. But I refrain from doing commission work these days though).

It came with two tips and a soft rubber slide on gripper to help with long scrimshawing sessions. Got it so long ago, I don't remember where I got it from.
