Roland Cadle Half-Size Horn


At Fort Frederick in April, Roland Cadle told me that he was making a horn for me to put on my table at the CLA show, "so you will have a quality horn to show instead of the backwoods stuff." At this year's show he brought me this 1/2 scale powder horn, completely hand made by him in the Philadelphia horn fashion. It has turned pewter rings, turned wooden base and tip, dyed green, and iron loops for the strap. It measures about 9 inches around the curve and a base diameter of about 2 inches. It's a beautiful little horn that I'm proud to display on my table.
