In this third video, professional engraver and flintlock rifle maker Mark Thomas takes us into his Virginia workshop to share a short tutorial on how to use a card scraper to scrape a Scottish Highland cow horn while making a historical rifle powder horn. If you missed his workshop tour, watch part 1 here.
I apologize for the delay in these videos, but the holidays hit and I’ve been working hard to improve the website and build our new woodworking store…check it out here and let me know what you think: Store.WoodAndShop.com.
Soon I’ll be releasing the 4th and last video from Mark’s workshop where he shares one of my favorite tutorials…how to make this lovely and historical finish on his flintlock riffles:

Wow, what a great idea! Only horn? Can I make another materials in this way? I likes your method. This horn is really excellent. Wood hand craft is really fantastic. I love your post.
Glad you liked it Leo! Yes, you can use a similar scraper for wood also. You can look up Card Scrapers. You can also use broken glass to scrape wood. Scraping is a fantastic way to smooth figured wood without tearing out the grain.
