I've been making powder horns for years and turning my own plugs for them. Here is my latest project, and today I turned a spout plug, a walnut spout tip and a walnut base plug. The wood is from a walnut tree struck by lightning on the family farm that I cut up a couple years ago. I have lots of bowl blanks, too! The spout tip and base plug will be secured with wooden pegs after the horn is finished being polished. I'll make a black staple to put in the bottom plug to fasten the strap to. I'll engrave it after securing the wood and making it moisture proof. My next horn plans to have a turned antler spout tip and a cherry base plug. Thanks for looking.
