Beautiful work. Your horns are works of art. How do you get those gorgeous red and golden yellow colors?

Some are natural. Most are multiple coats of stain.
I'm working on one right now that is all-natural B&W with a French & Indian twist. It's just too cool to even take a file to it. Or ink. A one of a kind I had for years, I guess.

the stain brought out a nice grain in it.

Yep. A lot of horns have that. You have to steel wool the dye back out to a degree to find it.
Well mine are nowhere near as pretty as some of these but they work well enough for me... The top and bottom ones I made back in 95-6ish when I first got started in BP to go with the Trad. Woodsman in my profile pic... Now I've picked up a few more guns including my very first flintlock which needed her own new horn hence the new Buffalo horn in the center... Nuthin' fancy as I prefer function over form in most cases but it's my work and it was fun to do... Just finishing up a Buffalo Flat horn and that was an adventure all by itself trying to get it right... Separate post coming...
