John DeWald Southern Banded Powder Horn

This is a very nice southern triple banded horn by John DeWald, Jr. of Pennsdale, PA. John is a journeyman in the Horner's Guild. It has a scraped and antiqued finish. The base plug is maple with a turned antler button. The tip is antler as well and pinned in place. Measures 13 1/4 inches. Base is 1 1/2 inches tall not including the button. Base diameter is 2 1/4 inches. The horn is translucent the entire length so you can see the amount of powder inside. Horn has a nice double twist and works best to right hand carry, but could be carried left handed as well.

Banded Powder Horn by Ron Trammell

This a contemporary banded horn that is 13 1/2 ins. around the curve.The base plug is 2 3/8 ins and is cherry that has been hollowed out to make it lighter and hold more powder. The base strap button and the tip are whitetail antler and the tip is applied. It is the first in what I hope will be a series of four made in a similar style. The toughest part of doing a horn with this size band is finding a donor horn that is close enough in size and shape to heat and fit .
