I just did my first "smoking" of Horn and Bone. I smoked it with saw dust for about 20 minutes. It gave the Powder horn and "Deer Leg" Apple corer a nice old look. What do you think of how it looks ! I wood waxed them after it cooled. Thanks Jeff

Jeff, Here is some examples of cold smoking horn using different types of wood and time in smoker to show the many different color tones that can be done with different woods.
Cold smoked in American walnut (2 hours)
Smoked in rotten Cottonwood pulp (1 hour)..Note each horn takes on a slight different color tone.
Spout only in Cottonwood smoke as above for about 45 minutes....Then spout antique aged.
Hickory and Maple mixed chips smoke (1 hour 15 minutes).

Smoking horn? I'll have to give it a try.
Very nice looking :thumbsup:

Here's my Horn "smoker" Its just a 5 gallen metal bucket with cast iron pan for saw dust. Simple ..but it works good. Just be careful not to get hot (very low heat..maybe a electric hotplate would be better)
I hang horn up at top with wire.

nice work
Had forgotten this thread.
Those more recent postings are great also. Really fine looking.
Only downside is they could be easily passed as genuine antiques. :wink:
