I've got this little horn that I would like to make for a day horn. It's about 11 inches on the outside curve and probably would hold about 1/2 pound of powder. It's a really nice amber color and will look good when finished.
Here's the question I've made horns before but never a banded one. When using rings cut from another horn do you boil them and slip them on hot and let dry or do you fit them just dry? I guess my thinking is that horn will act like rawhide and shrink as it cools.
I'm planning to put two bands at the spout end and one at the plug end.
