Local relic horn

Good job Dan!  :applaud  :hairy

Here's a tip when lacing your rawhide,.... after lacing and tying your double knots, slide your needle and thread back between the horn and rawhide (about 1" and at about a 45 degree angle to your lacing) and bring the needle and thread back up through your rawhide then cut the thread off flush with the rawhide.
As the rawhide dries and shrinks it will lock the tail of your thread in place between the hide and horn which helps prevent the possibility of your knot coming untied.  :bl th up

BEAVERMAN:
Well done there Dan! 2 thumbs up!  :hairy :hairy

Winter Hawk:
That should be good for another 100 years or so!  :hairy

KDubs:
Looking good.  Feels good putting old things back in service.

Thanks ya'll, it was a fun little project with the bonus of being a usable horn. I'll see if this holds enough 3F to get me through a woodswalk at our monthly club shoot using my .36 Ohio rifle.
