I'm making a black powder powder horn. Experienced makers do all manner of carving in the horn. Now the horn is ruined if it is carved too deep and the wall is pierced. Where most of the carving happens, the horns are curved and narrow making it impossible to use a caliper.
Can anyone think of a tool that could measure the thickness to say, +- .5mm?
It could be a relative thing where you take a measurement before carving then take a measurement during carving and figure out not the thickness but how much material remains proportionately.
