My Horns
« on: September 05, 2017, 02:36:03 PM »
.

This is my first self-made bag (made 20 years ago) & a self-made (last week) powder horn sufficient for a day's hunt - along with one of my drinking horns.






These are my drinking horns, with pewter (I think) furniture -  which I found long ago @ a flea market (atop a slant-top desk I also made):

PetahW, FWIW, I've got to know Roaddog / Don Hanson fairly well here of late...if he say's it's yours you might as well accept the fact that it's yours.
 :lol sign

And, much like Don, I also like them both.....nice work.

Uncle Russ...

It's the many things we don't do that totally sets us apart.

Very nice, sir!  And a unique way to attach the strap to the horn.  I purely do like that!   :hairy

Is that a powder measure doing double duty as a powder horn stop?

Thanks for the kind words, folks !

What looks like a measure is a deer antler tip I made into a plug, that I haven't yet figured out how to make a powder measure from, and still function as a spout plug.
