    I would say engraving is probably in your background. Adding those design features to a powder horn definitely raises the bar for the scrimshaw folks. Very inspiring, thank you.

    Hello Mikesto44, I think that blue finish on your trade gun lock looks great. It’s going to get better as it wears from shooting and handling. Nice work. And yes, Rob is a bad influence on us all.

    Pretty nice contrast with that black and white. Good tip and spout shaping too. Did you dye the black part of the horns to make their color so precise? I can’t wait it see your scrimshaw work on them.

    That is another beautiful horn Pathfinder. I’m wondering, do you have a sketch book of original designs to choose from when you are ready to carve a horn? The elements of your designs are very well composed. Not to mention the execution of the artwork applied to the horn. The horn’s shape is...
