Bag & Horn Set

[Harddog]

Here is a bag & horn set I recently completed. The bag is tapestry and leather lined with heavy weight green checked material.THe horn is a southern style horn with a beehive type buttplug and an applied antler spout tip.

Both are real beauts! I'll jump on the bandwagon and also say how much I like the southern horn (of which I've always been kinda partial to). Real nice work

What exactly defines a southern horn? I notice there is a more elongated shape to the back of the horn. Heck I didn't even know there were different styles or regional differences in powderhorn! It looks sharp!

Bunyan,

I am not sure that one can define a typical southern horn. They did come in various styles. What makes the one I have shown a southern horn is the extended beehive style buttplug and the applied antler spout tip. Also, this style of horn usually did not have any scrimshaw work done to them. Southern horns of this type "usually" were curved, but didn't have much twist to them although some did seem to have curve and a small amount of twist, but not to the extent that one would see on an F&I war lobed horn.

In short, horns were made in many different styles and shapes depending on the time period as well as the geographic area the horn was made.

It was made south of the Mason-Dixon line. :rotf:

Loblolly or live-oak buttplug? Lack of maple anywhere? Barbecue sauce or deep-fry oil stained fingerprints? It is scrimshawed with a large number and the letters "NASCAR" :rotf:

Beautiful work Harddog. Very nice set. :thumbsup:
