wow Thad! that is just elegant! bet she hangs out front wonderfully. The SMR holds first place in my likes, right along with any other flintlock!

i had forgotten what walnut worked like, until i started the Kentucky i am building. sure easier to carve the barrel channel that the rock hard maple of the Isaac Haines i have going.
now you have the SMR done, whatcha going to do with that hide? i found a use for one this winter. draped it over my recliner and stopped getting shocked with static every time i got up.
really like the muzzle treatment.
