First horns
« on: November 06, 2013, 06:18:21 PM »
I made the big one a while back, and the two priming horns yesterday. One of the priming horns is real buffalo, and the other is water buffalo. The Water buffalo horn has a (my version) rattle snake wrapped around the spout end, and has a Purpleheart butt plug. The other horns have Black Locust butt plugs.
Woody
All three.

Good work Woodie!  :lt th

Do you notice any difference working with the two types of horn?
I guess what I'm asking is one any easier than the other to work with.....?

I've made a few horns over the years, but they all seemed to make the purist want to yank their eyeballs out by the roots...so I quit trying.

I also have what I consider a real nice Buffalo Horn that I won at a Green River Rendezvous several years back but I've never got around to actually using it.
Kinda forgot how much I like these Buffalo horns until seeing yours again.

Thanks for sharing!

Uncle Russ...
