    To carve or not

    The stringing is beautiful. This detail would be the limit of a decorative touch I would recommend for a highly figured piece of wood. I use stringing to "frame" a detailed figure on a piece of furniture, the contrast and delicacy of the strings can effectively call attention to the beauty of...

    TN-KY Long Rifle Show - Knoxville - First Time

    This was my first long rifle show. I have attended many large gun shows, ASSRA specific small shows and other outdoor shows. Size-wise, this was a small show compared to most non-muzzleloader specific shows I have attended. Quality-wise this was fantastic. I learned a lot. Met the authors of...

    What kind of stuff do you all read?

    I found a very old copy of "Crow Killer". The original journal account that the movie "Jeremiah Johnson" was based upon at a flea market. Really a wonderful story. I have not ever found a reprint, but if you find a copy, it well worth the few hours of your time it takes to read it. "Theodore...

    Is Kibler a Sponsor of this site?

    Dear God Gentlemen, it was just a question! Not an accusation. There is a constant banner urging members to support our forum (which I do) and simply asked if Mr. Kibler supported the forum like so many of his customers do. I am not apologizing for asking a simple question. If you decided...

    Is Kibler a Sponsor of this site?

    I was looking at our Sponsor Directory and did not see Kibler listed. Is this correct? If he does not sponsor this site, I personally find that odd, given the 1000's of free ads he receives here from the members. Hope I am wrong or looking in the wrong place.

    "Master Carver" gouges: Any reviews from users?

    I too own Pfeil tools, but have "built" (there's that word again) my collection over years. Since he wants to do more than gun stock work, he is wanting to purchase a good sized set. Pfeil is a bit pricey for his budget needing a larger set. This "Master Carver" set is very inexpensive. That is...

    "Master Carver" gouges: Any reviews from users?

    Has anyone tried these carving tools? If you have, would you mind providing a review of these tools. They are quite inexpensive compared to Pfeil, Two Cherries and Lamp tools. Does this equate to their quality (or lack of it) ? My grandson was considering them for carving work, but like me, he...

    Is the Woodsrunner that easy?

    Just like the model planes, cars etc. we all "built" as kids. you are building (or assembling) a rifle. There is still room for creativity, personalization, and skills involved. IMO: What you did was build a gun, just as you built models in your youth. What you would not have done, is MAKE...

    Signature Series 1860 sold for $3025... What?

    I just saw one of the Colt 1980s Heritage series of a Dragoon on GunBroker with a STARTING BID of $7,000.00 ??? 7-8 years ago, these were going from $300-500. One guy during that time was selling his father's collection, he had one of every model offered in the series. He was willing to do a...

    Natural dye Capote.

    Thank you for the article link Daryl. I had been told this by a professional guide regarding moose and it seemed that it should relate to both deer and elk as well. The article confirmed my conclusion. Long wave spectrum colors are fine, short wave spectrum colors easily seen. Simple enough...

    Petrolum products and black powder fouling....a chemical analysis.

    There used to be a product for sale in the Single Shot Exchange called "syntha-cete" versus "spermacete" (the actual whale oil) used in the 18th and 19th centuries. As I do not get the Single Shot Exchange any longer, I am not sure if it is still available, but you can check.
