Finished an ugly little horn...

Post by blackpowderscout » Mon Apr 29, 2013 5:30 pm

Got bored and had a horn laying around that I'd picked up last year at Dixon's...thought I'd finally try to make an simple horn.

It turned out ok. Ugly but ok. I learned a lot from my mistakes and I think my next one will be better because of it. Got to start somewhere, right?

:cheers

Funny, when I was making this one, after I cut it to size and drilled the tip, I tried blowing on it to see what it sounded like. It came out like a sort of mediocre fart. I laughed and told myself it was meant to just be a powder horn....

Cool...anybody making anything by hand anymore has become a lost art!

Keep at it.
