Stony1 pulled through on this one! I had bought a cheap uncompleted horn off ebay and after looking at it, got tired of it and put it away. Once Dave showed up with his talents we discussed a list of things and settled on a price and I sent the horn off to him so he could work his magic!
Dave did a beautiful job on this horn! He added the whitetail antler stopper plug with a piece of buckskin for me to tie it off to my bag strap. He did the white pine plug with screw in Acorn filler plug which BTW, is a HUGE welcome! I had a head slapping moment when I went to fill it and completely forgot about the Acorn filler hole. Unscrewed it, used my funnel and started filling it up nice and easy. That flat wood surface was so much easier and less powder was spilled.
He topped off with copper nails to hold the base plug to the horn. With some age to the works, this will be my favorite horn and have memories and friendship involved as well.
I have already taken it on its first hunt!
