Done! Made the staples myself out of a coat hanger, flattened them, heated then up and put a twist in them. A little wood glue for some support and they tapped into the horn and wood base plug nicely. The base plug & spout I lightly torched for some age and color. A hand rubbed coat of linseed oil and shes done! Already hanging off my shooting bag. 100% sealed air tight including the staple that goes through the horn.







 
Great job, I love the looks of that! While I admire scroll work for the effort of the artist, I also admire raw natural ruggedness.
 
Nice work !!!

Is that a Bison horn? The curl looks right. Going to go well your possibles bag.


Be Safe !!!
