    I’ve Been Busy-Turkey Season is Coming

    This is a busy part of the year for call makers. With duck and deer seasons behind, I have been swamped with the diaphragms, box calls, scratch boxes and trumpets! I try to keep a few on hand in case somebody wants one already made instead of a custom build. Here are a few that I finished up...

    Leather Ball Flask

    Just finished this up to go with my Kibler SMR. Had a scrap deer bone end from the last knife handle so I glued it to a pine dowel and used it for the plug. I think I’ll rough it up a little to add a some more character. Thanks for looking!

    Leather Canteen

    I have always been intrigued by the ones I would see so I figured I’d make me one to haul around. It turned out very nice and is water tight…….so far! I treated the inside with beeswax and then a coat of brewers pitch. It holds exactly 2 cups so not a real big one but should be plenty on a...

    Bag and knife

    Finally got around to makin a new bag to go with my squirrel rifle. Thanks for looking! I used a poured pewter button that I made along with an old buckle and ring that I found at an old forgotton homesite while metal detecting years ago. Nothing visible to give the homesite away except for...

    Got Lucky This Morning

    Daylight broke and he gobbled at about 100 yards through the timber at an owl hoot. Called him off the roost to twenty yards. Smoothbore did the trick! I used 65 grains of FF and 1-1/8 ounce of 6’s
