Slow weekend, so....

Thought I would get started on a new horn for my next gun build. Cheaper than building the gun for now.

Interesting working with bison horn. Gave it an apple base with tru oil finish. It is intended to go with a fullstock cherry wood plains rifle. I'll build that part in the dead of winter this year. Should make a nice set.

Astonishing is the only word I’m able to muster up for a change? HeHe

Excellent my friend!

Can I have it ??

Respectfully, Cowboy

 

[Ames]

Well, I could send it to you. But you would have to agree to build the gun that goes with it.

Nicely done Ames!!!!

Holy moly!!!!! Man if that horn was in my shop I would have simply tossed that out for the dog to chew on! you really did a great job! I'd be proud for sure of that transformation!

 

[Ames]

Thank you, guys. It was my first time with a bison horn, and the apple came out of my wood pile 2 years ago.

I have a horn in the garage that is almost that rough. I have hesitated to start on it, but your results give me hope of some positive results, but I doubt mine will be close to yours. Great job.

Good work, Ames!

Someone left me an old pair of bull buffalo horns outside the door a while ago. Long time since I worked on one. One has a hole shot right through it though!
