Powder Horn History#15 APPLIED TIP

[BEAVERMAN]

Reposting old threads that were lost after the forum cleanup from broken threads or lost pics from photobucket, here's an early build , Maybe some one can use it as a reference or  ideas for their own build! This one has an applied wooden turned tip, it needed to be done after drilling through the side of the forn when drilling the spout and not wanting to waist the horn.

Nice horn, Jim. Great solution to an oops!

Nice horn, Jim.
I had a commission for a horn one time and the fellow wanted a long wooden applied tip.  I thought it was pretty weird, but it worked out well.  I bought the horn at Friendship from Carl Wilburn, and wound up spending I think $15 dollars on it.  I think I was spending about $4 or $5 each on Mexican horns, so the cost was really shocking to me.  Watching the dog and pony show there made the whole thing worthwhile, though.  Long story best shared over a campfire complete with the adult beverages of choice.  We'll do that someday.

Thanks, I look forward to a fireside chat, hopefully there will be a west coast horn fair 2021!

If there is, I am looking forward to driving up to it.  Linda thinks I should fly, but then I would have to rent a car, lots of trouble.
