Sorry for the fuzzy pictures- I have made several horns but this is the one I have used for many years. The rifle is a Mark Silver Rifle in 58 cal. I built from a Chambers kit. The woven hemp bag is for holding round balls. The finger is made from deer antler and holds my priming powder. I shoot 2F powder and grind it to a powder and use it for priming. I have used the wooden plug to crush and grind the 2F powder while in the pan. Super fast ignition. No need to buy a priming powder. The light colored ash handle pipehawk was forged by a friend is a very close reproduction of Squire Boones in the Indiana Museum. The other is a store bought repro with a hickory handle. The knife is also forged by a friend and has elk antler handles from a rack I found in Colorado. The bag is a brain tan deer I tanned and is bear oil rubbed. Love my gear and making what I use.

A lot of Primitive ranges will not let you have a horn on the firing line. They had a good article in the Muzzleloader magazine about horns and cans exploding at shooting tables.

If you like the yellow colors in the horns, I believe it was Ritz dyes that can be used to soak or boil white horns to stain them. I wonder what colors an osage coloring would make a white horn???

Anyone tried the osage stain??

Very cool thread, Eddie. I have a perfect cow horn laying around. A project like these have been on my mind. When I get time to catch my breath, I may have to jump in.

Neat thread. You guys do some awesome work. I've made two powder horns, one of cow and one buffalo. Mine pale in comparison to the ones you guys have done. This is one of my shooting bags, but the powder horn is just a commercially made one. The bag is patterned after a Cheyenne one in the NMNH collections. CC
