Antiqued Powderhorn

[RMillet]

Well here's my first try at an antiqued powderhorn. What'd yall think?

It originally had the same coloration as the unfinished horn above it.

Very nice. Very original. How are you intending to close the other end??
A question about the object behind the young lads head in your forum picture. It almost appears to be the bow of a wood strip canoe??

It's already plugged with a simple pine plug.

Yea, that's the bow of my canoe. I like working with my hands after spending all day in front a computer. Here's a few more of my projects.

Muskrat,

NICE lookin' horn. :thumbsup: I also enjoyed the pics of the rifle.

BTW, what did you dye the horn with? GW

 

[RMillet]

Thank you grey whiskers. I used dark brown RIT dye for the tip and golden yellow with a small bit of sunshine orange for the body. I'm very happy with the results. Wish I could learn to draw though, I'm not satisfied with the scrimshaw. I have the same problem with my rifle carvings.

That horn is sure unique, from the shape to the colors. The antiquing worked out great!
