Official Powder Horn and Possibles Bag Image Thread

[QUOTE=garbear;1993001]I would be ashamed to show a picture of mine. My Grandpa made mine to go with my first muzzle loader. He pattered it from a womens purse. I did the bead work but the beads have fallen apart. I'll post a pic. You all have inspired me to make one for my t/c smooth bore.

How lucky you are to have that bag......I haven't seen one yet that can carry the memories that yours does!

My shotgun bag is a woman's purse. My wife found it at a goodwill store and I couldn't ask for a better pouch. All leather, 3 full compartments and 1 compartment divided in three sections. The divided compartment carries the wads and cards and the others carry tools and my shot pouch. I only had to add a wider strap to make it comfortable to carry. Oh and it is an awesome blue .

I also have some things that my friend and Brother, Doug Horn, made. The following pictures are of the bag he made.

I just so happen to have a horn and a couple bags by the same maker. Big surprise, eh? 😁

i like making powder horns and have built dozens, along with a few possibles bags.

Ric, when I saw your photos I just had to post mine. In my opinion, Doug never got adequate recognition for his work and it is greatly prized by those that have items he crafted.

He is a true master.

Have always enjoyed making my own ML accoutrements. Here's a bison horn and a couple of "cow" horns.

just finished a simple 11" horn with rear brass screw filler plug that'll get a strap attached, and a front groove in the horn for the strap's tie thong. there's a brass push button nozzle valve for easy filling of the powder measure without dealing with a pesky loose fiddle key stopper. this should hold a good 1/2lb of 3f for the .58 fowler. just need to make the strap.

that is a very nice horn and I really like the bottom fill addition. what kinda wood di you use for the end plug?

[rfd]

just some stained and clear coated sugar pine. i don't heat and round out the horn base, but instead make a plug to fit the ovoid opening, and it gets glued in and sanded flat. then i glue on another 1/2" to 1" thick piece of wood and oval or dome shapeit. usually i drill and taper a hole in the center of the wood for a filler and stop it with a dowel that i'll taper on a drill press. i'll heat up a bx cable staple with a propane torch and put a few fancy twists in it, and use it for a rear strap fastener. you can see that in one of my horns in a previous post.
