    Columbia River Dag?

    I have yet to see one with the handle like the one in Crazy Crow-not to say they don't exist, but I have not seen one yet. Scouter

    Columbia River Dag?

    Most of what you're talking about were really popular with the blackfeet. They were not actually intended for knives to begin with but were acutally spear heads that were made into knives I can only find two examples in my collections so far, but I'm sure I'll wrestle some more down soon. The...

    Blanket Capote project

    Mine's also a Whitney Point, but if you're following the native american construction, I would still advise trimming. I've been advised numerous times that it should be done. (to be correct and aesthetically pleasing) It really seems to finish the piece, and I would think that that would...

    Blanket Capote project

    Looks really nice. On the suggestion for sewing, I agree, when we do these with the Boy Scouts (I must've helped cut and sew two dozen at least) we always have them sew it on the inside mainly because the bushes will do a number on stitches and exposed blanket edges. If you can, I suggest...

    Buffalo Problems

    I'm in the process of tanning a buffalo hide, but I've run into a few snags. In the books I have it says to remove the flesh and the fat, but how do you tell the difference between the flesh/fat and the skin? Should it be that blue color all over? I think I've got it all, but this things...

    tipi or wall tent

    WOW big tent! Well as much as I love tipis, I think its a good decision. For tipis to really be effective you need all the right furnishings, and that takes a lot of time and a lot of extra $$$. Of course, there's nothing that can compare to a well furnished tipi- that's luxury!! Scouter

    Foot-powered lathes?

    Wow, what a great thread! I've had some projects that require a lathe, and have been planning on making one when school gets out(two weeks, three days, 10 hours) not like I'm coutin or anything! Those pics are great! I've been planning on making it out of scrap wood, but mine isn't going to be...

    Tea Dyed ?

    Yhea, urine was commonly used esp with the indians. I use a non-bleach fabric detergent (very little amount) and salt in the dye bath for feathers and fabrics, and then wash with cold water. Nothing I have has lost color yet. Scouter

    Boy Scout Rondy Targets

    At our Scouting events, We have someone whose experienced watch each step and check each step of the loading process, but still let the guys load it (of course we only allow 12+ to shoot) We also don't adjust the grain for each person, its easier that way, and a round ball with 50 grains...

    Whats your thoughts on the t/c hawken flintlock

    I know this is silly, but why is the hawken flintlock not historically accurate? Scouter

    Let's see your ML's

    Here's the only one I have with me at school ( I have a .45 percussion pistol, a .45 perc. darrenger and a .50 perc. hawken at home) This is a .50cal flintlock made by Austin Halleck Co. Got it for Christmas this last yr.-dying to shoot it! Sorry, not the best pics. Scouter

    Beeswax Waterproofing...again

    I would use true beeswax. You can also get it at Joann's Fabric store, but it'll be about 10.00 a lb. but as stated before, a lb is all you'll need. I recommend it because a) its authentic b) it tends to be stronger/firmer than other waxes so it doesn't rub off as easily and C) the most...

    Canteen on a budget.

    Well I don't know too much about this, but what about asking the local butcher for a bladder? Shouldn't be too much work preparing it and it's pretty darn PC. I bet he/she would give you one for free- Thats my favorite price!! Scouter

    Latest Bag

    I agree. One of the easiest ways to tell the patience (I say patience rather than skill because a beginner can produce nearly the same product, it just takes 2-3 times longer!) of a craft worker is in the consistency of his/her stitch work. I think the stitching alone makes this bag excellent...

    Card Weaving Strap

    Hey Paco, the whole set looks great! I love it when every piece can be displayed individually as it's own work of art (that's my crafting goal that I can rarely achieve). I've been looking into making a new patch knife, what kind of wood is that on yours? I love it! Scouter

    Buffalo Robe Crafts

    I agree!! I wouldn't think of cutting up a buffalo robe for projects. If you want scraps for projects, look up Moscow hide and furs (Moscow ID) or Ednise furs in St. Maries ID, and buy scraps from them. I have bought fur scraps from both of them before, and the hide pieces are really good...
