A first for me Inlay on a powderhorn
I made this for a friend of mine. It was something different.

Awesome. Did you lacquer over that horn John. Sure is smooth and shiny.

Nope
you sand the horn with 320 than buff and polish. It does shine up very well.
I may have to make a few more of these

John, how did you do the inlay on such a tight radius?
