    New Cocked hat with ribbon

    Two thoughts... First, That hat is awesome! Kudos for creativity and craftsmanship. Second, I strongly suspect that if one of our ancestors showed up and saw all of us in costume, they would probably wonder why everyone is dressed alike.

    Finishing Techniques

    When first starting out, I was confused about which finish was the "best". Every question draws a "Never use x because I always use y" response which is quickly followed by a "I get good results with x" rebuttal and an inevitable "in vs on" proclamation. Because most finishes come in several...

    I wasn't able to find any contact information. I submitted a request to join their group on fb and there's been no response. If you can PM some contact info, I would be grateful. Thanks!

    Does anyone know much about Poplar Hollow Longrifles? I sent them a request some time ago and haven't seen a response.

    I'm in Rutherford county and would very much like to get together for some regular shooting. I've never shot ML in any kind of competition before and would definitely like to participate in a woods walk.

    Thanks! Huge help! I'll be ordering a few new tools based on everyone's suggestions and will be practicing on making smooth lines. I ordered the files and used them. The files helped me smooth out some of the lines. I was pretty happy with the result and wanted to stop before I messed up...

    FOR SALE TVM Flintlock Southern Mountain Rifle 40 cal

    ScottE, Nice rifle! Someone should be interested. Maybe there are some buyers who were waiting until they saw what was available at Friendship before making a commitment. Unfortunately, the LOP is too long for me. Does it have a nose cap or am I seeing pattern of the wood grain?

    That sounds like a good idea, I'll check those out during my next trip to Woodcraft. Thankfully, there's one pretty close. After I play with the riffler files, I'll post some new pics. Meanwhile, I've been working on my first powder horn as well. It's not perfect either, but I'm pleased with...

    Riffler files! Thank you! Didn't even know those existed. I did the best I could with the lines and knew immediately they weren't all going to be as smooth as could be accomplished by someone more skilled and experienced. I will definitely try these files to clean up the sweeps. The relief...

    You guys are hilarious! I decided to go without the coins. Here are some pics of my progress. This is my first attempt at wood carving, so there are some "personality" marks

    Zonie, That's a fascinating observation. I'm not an authority by any definition but will throw this out there. The church in colonial time was very different from what we see today. The crucifix was largely associated with the catholic church and they weren't too popular with the protestants...

    Thank you! I'll check out the resource. I wasn't sure exactly what time frame this kit was meant for and the more I read about it, the more confused I became.

    Hey everyone, This is my first post. Thank you for letting me join the group. I'm about to start my first rifle kit. I bought the Kibler Colonial and have found some things I would like to add. My concern is that I don't want to mistakenly build something that is PC/HC out of whack. So here...
