This is my new powder horn for black powder. It was made by an avid BP hunter/ friend in South Africa
The horn is from a very large Blesbuck Ram. Very difficult to hunt, skittish animals that you find on the plains. Very good eye sight, and they run for no reason at all.
Both the plugs are from a piece of wild olive that came out the Kalahari Desert. A very hard and dense wood, even though it has a lighter colour. Can be polished to a very fine sheen.
