Product Details

The Scrimshaw Quality Powder Horn Kit from Crazy Crow Trading Post is designed for artisans, reenactors, and muzzleloading enthusiasts who want to create a powder horn that not only functions well but also serves as a canvas for traditional scrimshaw engraving. Sized between 10" and 14", each horn in this kit is carefully selected for its smooth surface and light coloration—ideal for etching detailed designs, maps, names, dates, or patriotic symbols in the style of 18th- and 19th-century powder horns.

This kit includes all the components needed to build a fully functional horn, including a hardwood base plug, turned stopper, leather strap, and detailed instructions. The horn’s surface is polished to a finish that accepts engraving tools and ink with ease, making it a favorite among historical artists and craftspeople. Whether you're replicating a powder horn suitable for a campaign style of the type used during the French & Indian War up through the American Revolution or creating a personalized piece for display, this kit offers the flexibility and authenticity required for high-quality scrimshaw work.

As this is an advanced kit, you will need the following tools: vise, drill, coping saw, rasps and files, sandpaper or emery paper, small hammer, wood stain and varnish if desired.

This Scrimshaw Quality Powder Horn Kit is ideal for those who appreciate the artistry and heritage of frontier craftsmanship. It’s a popular choice for reenactors, educators, and collectors who want to build a horn that reflects both historical accuracy and personal expression. Whether used in the field or displayed as a work of art, this kit delivers a rewarding and creative experience.
