Been a busy couple months, but I finally got the bison horn finished. Painted and weathered pine base plug, matching tip plug. The horn shined up nice with a heated in coat of beeswax.

Now I just need to finish up a beaded, braintan shooting bag to go with it.

That is a fine looking horn K. Snow. They sure are a joy to work with. I had a buddy pick up several steer horns from a local flea market recently for me. Most were in good shape to work up.

I love the blackness of the horn with the plugs. I could see a Man having several different horns to match his frontier outfits! Impressed with every horn you've posted!

At least a horn for every gun. And most of my guns are from different places and times, so at least one outfit per gun.

Great Idea. Something to add to the list when I jump from #11 cap ignited to Flint ignited. Thanks for sharing your talent with us.

Thanks for all of the compliments guys. Hopefully I can make a few more this summer. The basement shop is a nice place to retreat too when the weather gets hot.
