Re: Black powder : Making a powder horn
Correct, but I prefer scaring /making fine dents into the surface for better bonding. Have been doing it since a young boy /high school learner in woodwork shop, we work only with Tambotie, Kiaat , Imbuia and Black-wood...Another great feature of Tambotie is when you scrape it down with a piece of sharp broken glass you really get a high gloss finish instead of using sanding paper.
