    Percussion era shooting bag

    I ran across this shooting bag in our local museum here in Siskiyou county California and thought some of you guys would appreciate it. Based on the condition of the leather I believe it is an authentic older bag. It appeared to have an accessory attached to the strap to hold percussion caps...

    A little shooting

    I had been itching to get out and do some shooting but most of the local Forest Service roads are pretty well snowed in. After a few tries I managed to find a road that allowed access to a shooting spot. I brought my Tip Curtis .54 cal Lancaster along for the day. The bag, horn and measure...

I understand that it can be prepared and used just by itself or with bees wax added. I would like to...

    Buffalo powder horn

    Here is a buffalo horn powder horn I just finished. I used a walnut base plug and carved the spout stopper out of the same wood. The strap is a piece of buckskin. I was aiming for a western fur trade style and left it kinda of rustic just because I like the look. It was my first time making a...

    Fur Trade knife and sheath

    Here is a butcher knife I re-handled with walnut scales and five small steel pins. I also made a sheath using copper rivets. The butcher knife has an unmarked blade and I was aiming for something somewhat period correct for the Rocky Mountain Fur Trade era. Comments are welcome. Not sure if...
