Flat Style Powder Horns

I will try to post a pic once I get back home.

Goodness, gracious Ray, we're going to have to drive a spike into your foot to keep you around.

Wouldn't that just make him run in a circle???

Can't tell a lie...I do a passel of traveling...and I still enjoy it. Always afraid that if I stop moving I'll either rust up or they will catch me...and neither is a good option...

And the kicker is that my wife is as bad as I am...and that's a good thing...most times, at least. She is happiest when planning our next trip...the only problem is that all the trips are starting to interfere with my living history events...not good at all...

And all those who know me best know that no one can beat me running in circles...you can ask any of my staff...

The HORN, The HORN ??

[doggoner]

OK.  The top horn is a flatty made by Rick Froehlich of Omaha, Nebraska. I love the rabbit. They both get their turn on squirrel hunts with my 36 cal southern flintlock rifle.

Here’s a closeup of one of mine. I built this from a Powderhorns & More kit several years ago.

Luv all the nice pics of the flat horns. It's just nice to see something different, original and still historically correct.

My #1 preference in a powder horn = A Flat Horn ( often called a Scottish Flat Powder Horn )

Why = IMHO this style horn  is easier to carry (fits closer to my body) & it fits my hand better. ++
BEAVERMAN made & gifted it to Me.!!

Dang Jack, you still have that horn!!!!!!! you keep posting stuff on here that we made many years ago, plum forgot about alot of that stuff, I lost all my files (pics)of previous work a few years back, glad you are posting these, at least I can capture some of the stuff back and I have been copying them to a thumb drive, with building the new shop/ apt for Laura and I at my sons place it wont be long till I can back in the shop and start producing again, hope I can remember how to do this stuff!!!!

This is the last horn I have built.

Its intended to be for my squirrel rifle,a .36 by Mark Cambell.

Ridj, that horn was died with boiled onion skin die, works well on some horns and some it turns kind of a green hue, never know what your gonna get, kinda like shooting craps!

Just like riding a bicycle, Beav.  Once you learn...  blah, blah, blah.
The thing I have problems with is not what to do, but rather the sequence with which you do it.  Seems like as I get older, I am having more and more problems with that.  Oh well, at least I am still looking at the top side of the grass.

I hear you John, working on a new design hunting pouch while I'm sitting around in the MH in the evenings, a fowler bag, started sewing it up and had to take it apart, forgot the sequence of the design, I cut this bag out 5 or 6 years ago, felt real stupid I did!
