That's a great looking powder horn Shovelbuck. You do good work. I bought a semi-finished Flat Horn from someplace online..Crow something.. Anyway, I finished it and scrimshawed a gobbler on the front and back. One with India Ink and one with watercolors then sealed to keep the colors. I'll post...
