    Food-Grade Horns?

    Outside of elbow grease, is there anything else applied to the inside of rum horns or salt horns to make them safe (palatable) for consumption? Is there an inner sleeve of some other material or is there a coating of something that is applied or an extra process? Thank you.

    The wax on wax dilemna

    I hope this can stay in gun building, since my question is: Was this method ever used on 18th/19th century European or American muzzleloader stocks to any significant degree? I am sure they had something very similar to Johnson's paste wax back then? Thank you. 0LWePTM6M7Q

    I own an old trade knife that has a leather slip sheath. The knife is too loose in an otherwise nice fitting and good conditioned sheath.

So...pictures of...
