    Save the tusks and teeth. I know a guy who makes pistol grips from them. You will have to let us know what mammoth tastes like.

    Work in Progress - Big Red

    Thanks for the advice Colonel. I will try to implement as much as possible if I have not already gone beyond the point of no return. Springer - If I screw up anything too bad, I may have to start over with a new stock. I have learned a lot compared to my first build, but I am still low on the...

    Work in Progress - Big Red

    Getting down to the carving. I have been practicing on some scrap cherry,. This is my first time carving on a stock and it is nerve wracking. I don't like the placement of the upper "C", so I will move it down to form a more traditional overlapping C pattern. Half finished with the first...

    Inletting the patch box. Some people may have laughed at my micro chisel / scraper (a sharpened nail), but it alllows me to make a well-defined border. The straight portion on the far left was made with a 1/4" chisel. The rest was outlined with the nail. Carving inlets for the barrel pin...

    I have been following your cherry build very closely. I am working on one that is a couple weeks behind yours. You have a beautiful rifle and I am looking forward to seeing the finished product.

    What Muzzleloading Stuff Did You Do Today?

    I had a little group therapy at the range today. It has been about a month since the last session. I really needed it. I shot my Lancaster .50 cal off a rest and free hand.

    Right to Left handed, a quandary of Cheek rests.

    I am also a lefty. I can shoot right-handed unmentionables without a problem. My only concern with a muzzleloader would be sharp edges of any metal (patch box, etc.) on the right side of the stock.
