    Starting A New Knife Build

    I ran across this Dexter/Russel 10" (blade) knife today @ a Salvation Army store @ $3 - and thought it might make up into a nice "Butcher Bowie". Since I had a piece of a shed stag/antler (Whitetail), I wanted to graft it onto the blade after I cleaned the blade up. So, I removed...

    A Vintage European Powder Horn

    I ran across this European silver-plated brass powder horn, which has an interesting neck and multiple tiedown/strap points. :hmm: Is there an American time period in which the use of this horn would fit ? :confused: What sort of frontstuffer would this horn be PC with ? :confused...

    Speed Goat Powder Horn

    I spotted this elsewhere, and thought it of interest here - a powder horn built from a found Antelope horn & a cut down metallic cartridge case for the spout. .

    My Horns

    This is my first self-made bag (made 20 years ago) & a self-made (last week) powder horn sufficient for a day's hunt - along with one of my drinking horns. These are my drinking horns with pewter (I think) furniture, which I found long ago @ a flea market (atop a slant-top desk I also made):

    A Bone Bowie

    I crafted a bone handle for this 10" Bowie I found online. I like the way it came out, so I'll most likely make a back of the neck sheath for it. :idunno:

    My Green River Knife

    . I gathered a Russell Green River 5" Hunter blade & some handle materials, to see if I could fashion a nice hunting knife. I cut out some spacers for the handle. And epoxied the spacers in place. I thought the bone scales too heavy, so I attached burl Maple scales and...

    My Re-Handled Bowie

    I decided to re-handle my Cold Steel Trailmaster Bowie last week, as after some use, I decided that I didn't really care for the issue rubber bumper. (before) Cutting the rubber off was E-Z-Peazy, the brass (wrist thong) ferrule a tad more difficult, and as you can see below, they're made...

    My Holy Grail Found - A .36 T/C Seneca

    . Today, while out/about on a mission for my Green-Eyed Monster, I stumbled across a veritable hen's tooth ! A pristine early T/C Seneca (unmarked "Seneca).36 cal rifle to match my .45 Seneca. My state mandates different muzzleloading hunting rifle bore sizes for different game - over...

    A new-To-Me Model 1851

    . I was able to add this defarbed & nickle-plated .36 Model 1851 to my safe this week. The frame passed my magnet test, so it's carbon steel. The only parts w/o nickle plating are the cylinder, the ball rammer, and the brass gripframe. I'm likin' the worn look, enhanced by the worn Walnut...

    . From GM's home page: Notice to Owners of our Black Powder "Drop-In" Barrels: There is a possibility that the nipple on your rifle is defective. Metric threaded nipples were inadvertently installed in some barrels instead of the proper 1/4-28 threaded nipples. The serial number range in...

    My .36 Model 1862 C&B Revolver

    . I just received this .36 Uberti/Colt Model 1862 Pocket Police revolver, with a 5-shot cylinder, 5-1/2" bbl and some nice case colors - and cannot wait until I get some .380" RB's for it. I surely admire it's petite nature, with a cylinder frame about 25% smaller than the Model 1851 frame...

    Uberti/Colt Model 1862 Revolver

    . Today, I took delivery of a Uberti clone of the petite, 5-shot .36 Colt Model 1862 Pocket Police C&B revolver. I like it much better than the M-1851 size 6-shot frame used on the Pietta 1862's. It has the 5-1/2" bbl, nice case colors and is about the same size as my .22 Ruger Old Model...

    T/C: .90cal

    . One .45cal (Cherokee) + 1 .45cal (Seneca) ____________________ .90cal Right ? :wink: . :wink: (The backstory:) Once upon a time I had a (then new) .45 cal T/C Cherokee, which (after a few years) I sold to a close friend (in pristine condition w/patina'd brass), to get funds for a...

    Dawg Chew Knife Sheaths

    . I ran across this idee, for knife sheaths, and both thought it'd be of interest here, and that I'd try it on the Cherokee Bowie clone I bought last Winter. The sheaths are made from a rawhide chew-bone treat, from a local feed or pet store. Soak the chew for a couple days until pliable...

    An Underhammer Pistol from Scratch

    I spotted this home/hand made U/H, over @ the U/H Society's webpage/blog, that a fella named Robert Bradley had made from scrap & submitted. http://underhammers.blogspot.com/ I think it's pretty neat. .
