Back to work on a horn project - horn body finished
« on: December 30, 2019, 10:27:34 pm »
After taking far too long of a hiatus, I am back in the shop on the next phase of the job - setting the plug in the base. The horn had slowly gone back to the natural oval shape and needed to be warmed up to a plastic state where it would conform to the round walnut plug. I cheated by using a little two part epoxy to get a good seal.

Five minute Devcon did the trick fast and permanent.

Horn question - is a threaded 2 piece base cap for filling the horn authentic?  If so, about when did that develop?

As far as I know that is more modern. This is a one piece plug.

The carved spout section is now finished and stained. A.coat of wax to shine it up is all it needs.

Next I will need to finish the spout plug and sew the leather tabs onto the woven woolen strap. I can smell the finish line from here, friends.

 If you have to pull the trigger, is it really archery?

That looks great! I like the spout on it. Is the cap hollowed to hold more powder?
