On thread go, I looked everywhere and can't find the cotton picking thing anywhere.
I didn't feel like getting soaked hunting today so I went to the shop and roughed out a Delaware County screw-tip powder horn. It is a little over 17" long and 2 1/2" across the end cap. The screw tip is turned out of another hunk of cow horn, threaded and screwed on. The end cap is turned from mahogany and will be held in place with small wooden pins when I am completely done. Now I have to spend about 15 hours engraving it, even though Deleware screw tip horn were rarely engraved, folks aren't interested if horns are left plain.
