Now just what did you think I meant?!?!   Another muzzleloading project I've been working on, powder horns! Bottom is a primer horn ready for dye for the neck and scrimshaw work on the body (partial horn on the side is one I've been practicing on), middle horn I just roughed out the neck, need to sand that and then I'll dye both at once. |

What will you use to scribe the horn?

You can use anything sharp - old nails or chipped off exacto knife blades seem to work well.

Finally got the right dye for the horn necks, dyed them a few hours ago and then scraped the white portions nice and bright to get them ready for scrimming. Top horn has been dyed, bottom has been dyed and scraped.  |

Got the first one about wrapped up, only thing left to do is make a strap staple for the base so I can attach a carrying strap. Not as good as I'd hoped, but I know much better what to do on the next one. It'll make a good hunting horn to carry in the woods and beat around with.   Had the hardest time trying to think of what to scrimshaw on it, but came up with this saying and, well, it just sort of fits me. ;D  |
