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!

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.

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.

Wonderful! Look forward to seeing what comes next!

Funny thing, out of all the thousands of horns I have made, not a single one of them has ever said it wanted to be engrailed. I guess one of these days I am going to have to give that a try, but I surely do not see it happening anytime soon. Next year isn't looking promising either.
