Thanks John, looking forward to the next one, I have a couple 4 more measures to make then horn dust be flying!, already picked it and cut both ends and drilled the spout, right now it's telling me it wants to be engrailed.

6 grain charger?
Really?
Are you sure that staple is hefty enough to hold that giant horn?

Just razzing you, Beav, looks like y'all did a pretty nice job on the horn. :bl th up  I like how you sized the horn to the charging tip.  That makes a much more streamlined appearance.

Keep it up.

I am thinking of getting a new belt sander next month, then I hope to start producing a few horns again myself.

I'm a thinking I've got a weak spot for cherry. Nice job Rob.

My first time with cherry, always been maple with a few forays into walnut.  They say that cherry wood gets darker and more redder over time, which could take a loooong time, so maybe when I kick the bucket my grandson might take possession of an actual cherry hued flinter.  :o 8) :laffing

Haven't played with horns in over 10 years, now that the off grid shop is finally up and running figured it was time to start making dust so I decided to start small and see f I remembered how to do this again, made a priming horn, about 6" overall with a 1&3/4" dia base plug of maple and a 6 grain charger, didnt turn out too bad so off to the horn bench we go!

Details jim, details.
What is the ID and the OD on them?
About how long are they?
And the 4 bore rifle wants to know if you can do a 400 grain measure?
John

They're about 5" long, OD is 5/8" ID is 27/64th's drill bit, measured depth to a brass measure I have here, Maple is from a 4 foot diameter stump from a broad leaf Maple I dropped on the in-laws property 20 years ago, aqua fortis stain and some satin poly on top

400 grains? aren't pipe bombs illegal?

Hey there's an honest man. And 49er, I figured you needed your chains rattled a little after that vacation. Furthermore if you did send me another portrait, I'd have to send it back. Salty taught me everything I know (you know, about honesty).
