    Antiqued Powderhorn

    Well here's my first try at an antiqued powderhorn. What'd yall think? It originally had the same coloration as the unfinished horn above it. Dick

    A bark-eater has entered the camp

    Greetings all. My name's Dick Millet and I hail from upstate NY. I'm a slightly displaced Adirondack Mountain Man having moved to the capital region some 15 years ago. I use the handle Muskrat as some of the best days of my life were spent on the trapline chasing after those little critters...
