Hawkthrower,
Here's a photo of a buffalo powder horn believed to be William Clark's horn. The base is believed to be ebony and ivory inlays. I believe that this horn is now in the WESTERN EXPANSION MUSEUM, in St. Louis, MO. (Corps of Discovery exhibit).

I think that this might be the horn you saw for your inspiration for your beautiful horn!

Hawkthrower, I have never seen one of those, I really like the black and white cap. All in all, you did a beautiful job! :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
Horner 75, Thanks for showing that one as well!! Just when I thought I was done making horns........ :grin: I'm inspired again!
Now if I can talk the guy up the road out of a couple of Buffalo horns....... Yes, thats right, even in western NY there's room for free ranging buffalo.

Ron: What species of wood did you use for the base plug? I still can't believe what a lovely horn you created!

Bill, in this particular case I used a scrap piece of walnut that was to thin for anything else and thanks to you and Lhunter for your kind comments.

Very beautiful horn!
I have not seen one like it.
May I ask how did you secure the white pieces or horn in the base plug and how you made the white horn pins to secure the plug to the horn?
Thanks,
Billk

Billk, Sorry it took so long to get back to you.The white horn pieces are dovetailed into the base plug sort of , meaning they are very shallow dovetails and I used a little epoxy just to make sure they stay. The white horn pins were cut from a very thick white horn I had and then held with surgical hemostats while I shaped them on a small belt sander. Good way to promote new skin growth :wink: :grin:
