I am known for my fascination of all things Christmas, with my absolute favorite being snowmen. Rick knows this and made me a special gift.- my very own engraved powder horn. I originally saw the horn at Rick's and had commented on how beautiful it was, this was before he engraved it (also known as scrimshaw). Little did I know what he was planning. He took this horn that he made, and engraved it in folk-art style with "Frosty his horne," his flintlock musket and other beautiful 18th century designs.
*Scrimshaw is the art of engraving lines and designs in the horn and then adding color by rubbing ink, lamp black or soot in the lines. These horns were made to hold black powder for flintlock guns.
