A powder horn was an essential part of early Colonial America and used throughout our history.

Having a powder horn handy was essential for anyone using a black powder weapon. Now you have the chance to make your own powder horn from this kit and finish it in any way you please.
Many of our pioneeer ancestors started engraving and etching their powder horns through a technique called scrimshaw. This process reveals a lot of interesting personal, historical, and/or geographical information, lending a unique personal touch to each horn.
