Only other one I have is a day horn I made around 45 years ago.Great strap on that nice horn. I may try something like that strap on my next one.
I'm just starting at this but could see myself working up a few others. After all my son needs one, my buddy I just introduced to black powder needs one....
That turned out pretty good daryl! Be careful it gets addicting! Another thing you can do on the next horn, or even this one if you desired, is to grab up some fieblings dark brown, light brown or black and mix your desired color and dye the entire horn with it, then you can card it back and see what you think. You can do this to the base plug as well as pour spout plug. The wooden pieces can be buffed back to a nice low luster shine. It’s just somthing I like to do to finish off my horns.. you may not care for it. If that’s the case, your horn looks good enough without it!@S.Kenton set me up with it and some advice. Scraper, knife, 2 files, and sandpaper later and it works for me. I may yet look to get a brass filling plug to make filling or emptying easier. I need to put a retainer on the plug and may mount a pin in it for clearing touch holes.
