Working on a new powder horn. Going to go with a woodlands indian theme. Using patterns based off of Ojibwa bandolier bags. All the tight curves take a while to carve. Hoping to get it done this next week while I am off work.

Nice flow of lines on that horn. I can see where it will take some time and slow precision carving .

Got the second border on and a small flower. Also filled in some empty space with a few more scrolls. [Linked Image]

I've made 4 or 5 horns... In fact I just finished a screw tip a couple weeks ago... But I have yet to work up the nerve to try scrimming any, I can mess up the simpler parts of the project without adding horrible scrimshaw to the list. LOL

Very nice work.

I can't draw a circle on flat paper. Pretty amazing work there.

A screw tip is on my to do list. Engraving is fun. If you mess up, just scrape it off and do it over. And if you look at original horns, they weren't all artists that made them.

I'll try to take some pics of the process. Want to see just the carving or the entire horn making process?

You definitely should try one, if you can make a regular powder horn then a screw tip isn't much more work. I had to have a few tools and jigs that made it go a bit easier but it wasn't as bad as I feared it would be.

Did a few a number of years ago but never continued for some reason. Nice work!
