My first hand made powder horn
Done! Made the staples myself out of a coat hanger, flattened them, heated then up and put a twist in them. A little wood glue for some support and they tapped into the horn and wood base plug nicely. The base plug & spout I lightly torched for some age and color. A hand rubbed coat of linseed oil and shes done! Already hanging off my shooting bag. 100% sealed air tight including the staple that goes through the horn.

Great job, I love the looks of that! While I admire scroll work for the effort of the artist, I also admire raw natural ruggedness.

I like it. It looks like it's been carried in the wild for years.

Nicer than my first. I gave it away. My second was much better.
