Thunder Lodge Trading Company

Thunder Lodge Trading Company Unique and one-of-a-kind scrimshawed pieces of art.; Black Powder Horns; Antler Jewelry Thunder Lodge Trading Company is owned by Mike Roberts.

It's a trading company based out of Mike's 13x17 marquee trading tent that he sets up at rendezvous, which are reenactments of the 1800's. Mike's trade consists primarily of scrimshawed powder horns. Powder horns were used in the Eighteenth Century to carry gunpowder for muskets and muzzleloaders. The use of animal horn along with nonferrous metal parts ensured that the powder would not be detonat

ed by sparks during storage and loading. Horn was also naturally waterproof and already hollow inside. Mike creates his powder horns entirely from scratch. It generally takes him about 5 hours to build a raw horn into a beautifully polished horn, and another 20-40 hours to scrimshaw the horn. The horn may be from either a cow or bison. Cow horns can come in various colors, including shades of white, cream, brown, greenish-grey and black. Buffalo horns are ebony black in color. Mike tries to find horns that are appealing and functional whether they are curved left or right handed. He obtains his raw horns from rendezvous, local farmers, and suppliers on the Internet.
