    Strap for new horn

    More food for thought... Robert Austin's publication "A manual of Fingerweaving" has an interesting discussion indicating that warpface fingerweaving was introduced by European and English trading companies. Unfortunately my browser (Mozilla) is "Photoshop Elements" ignorant... I bet the photos...

    Cartridge Boxes

    Take a look in "Battle Weapons of the American Revolution". Most of the examples they have carried 17-18 cartridges. Later American boxes carried 24-30. There is one example of a French waist box which carries 9.

    Curing wood for gun stocks

    I agree that hickory would not make a good gun stock.... but it is excellent ramrod material. I have heard a few builders say that it is becoming difficult to find good hickory splits for ramrods.

    Also be sure to wear old pants, shoes, and shirts. I have several that are decorated with splatters. Also pay attention to the ground or floor you are on as you will have an accumulation of little splatters and splashes. Ventilation is very important! I use a propane plumbers pot. Try a...

    Escopeta anyone?

    I can describe that rifle in ___ words...

    I think the terms are loosely used in a number of discussions. Personally I have found that the "Southern Mountain" term covers many different geographical areas and styles. Each geographical area has its own unique style or styles. As an example... An early brass mounted Gillespie rifle has...

    Need help with a purchase

    You may want to take a look at "Battle Weapons of the American Revolution" as a source for ideas. The French Fusil De Chasse (Tulle) would be a good choice for the time period. Firearms were scarce during the early period of the revolution and the people had to make due with what they had.

    I can describe that rifle in ___ words...

    I think the "Southern Mountain Rifle" covers a large area of the Appalachian Mountains beginning in Georgia and South Carolina then up through Tennessee, North Carolina, Kentucky, West Virginia, and Virginia. There was a lot of commerce in the mountains and I feel a lot of ideas were exchanged...

    I would be interested in purchasing a set of your drawings. Have been researching and have had little luck in finding a good set of drawings. Would rather build a lock than wait for an order from Oklahoma.
