Reproduction Banded Georgia Screw-Tip Horn
Take one look at this powder horn, and you'll be tempted to think that somewhere there's an overstuffed recliner missing a baker's dozen of decorative tacks. Nope. Those tacks are made by me using a dapping block and punch (not that it matters all that much).
The tip on this horn is made from an antler shed my ol' friend Dwight found and gave to me. It's a screw tip, so filling this southern beauty is easier than teaching a cat to ignore you. 11.5" across and 13.25" along the curve.
Caring for your powder horn.
Horn items are susceptible to moth and beetle damage. The best thing you can do to avoid this damage is simply to fill it with black powder and use it. If you plan to store your horn, you might be tempted to put it in a box and tuck it away on the top shelf next to the extra towels in the second bedroom where it's good and dry. Giving in to this temptation, may not be a sin, but it's pretty close. You'll be storing up your treasure where moth doth corrupt. You see, worms prefer to dine in the darkness. Instead, when you ain't using it, hang it up on display and let it shine for everyone to see. But be forewarned: they will be bound to ask, "where did you get that powder horn?" And you can say, "from K. Carter, hornsmith, at KC-Hornworks.com."
One last thing: It's always kinda nice to give your powder horn a name. It's just one more way of showing your horn that you really do care.
