    Raw wool instead of flax tow

    I wished I had kept every piece of documentation I have come across in the last 30 years.

    Which is historically correct, precut patches or cut at muzzle?

    I assume precut patches were used as how would you grease the patch using the grease hole in the stock of a rifle ?? You could use a roll of material but everytime you would try to use it, th roll of cloth would unroll and you would have to roll it all back up again until the next shot. Precut...

    Osage Orange for ramrods?

    Osage is my favorite material for hammer handles. You can pound as hard as you need to when smithing and the head won't break off the handle. With that kind of toughness, and osage ramrod should easily last a lifetime as you won't abuse it that much. Ohio Rusty ><>

I gave them all the job of being a white smith. I had a bunch of old tarnished silverware and I made a bowl...
