I also have a few bags, but these are the two I use. One for flint and one for percussion. The one set, as you can see, I made in 1964, is the only bag and horn I've made. We got a lot of miles together.

Ray,
Good looking horn!  thmbsup  For your next one, try some carving on it.  One thing I've found with horns is that they usually have plenty of material to carve on, even ones that seem a bit on the thin side.  You could take a horn like that one and carve some nice flats and rings on the throat.  You better watch out though, horn making can get addictive... ;D

My first one in progress.  Haven't decided what additional carving to put on it.  Still have to make the strap as well.
