    Nifemans birthday gift

    Hey fellows, been a while since I posted anything, so I decided to put Miss Tudy's gift to me on. It was made about 7 years ago by two of my favorite artists, Gib Guignard and Chuck Burrows. It's a real beauty with all their bells and whistles...

    Still Lookin' for the Bigun

    Fellers, Miss Tudy has been lookin' on the computer ant found 2 of the neatest items I've seen in a while. First, she bought a pair of "calf shears" from a woman or at least that's what she thought she had. Come to realize that they were actually scissors, forged by Ebenezer Bishop in the late...

    Tinder pouch

    Risking the chance of another firestorm of controversy, the Missus and I made another fire item. This can store your flint, tow and some pitchy wood and you won't lose your striker when you need it most. The pouch was fashioned from an old piece of leather that Miss Tudy had and uses a deer...

    Hey fellers, Miss Tudy got me a HB token to make a necklace for my B-day. Thing is we don't know if it may be real.
