    Warclub patterns

    Does anyone know of any good patterns or really good photos of warclubs? I'd really like to make on with some good carving on it but my online searches have not yielded too much. I'm not really ready to buy a $75 book from Dixie Gun Works just yet so...anyone? John

    Curious about builders/sellors . . .

    Rich - Thank you for your lengthy reply. I don't think I could have asked for a better reply from anyone. It would seem that your experience is similar to what I hope to experience. I like the Golden Age pieces, among a few others, and plan to stick to what I like. I am lucky enough to have...

    Curious about builders/sellors . . .

    I'm curious about those of you that build your own to sell. I am considering buiding some rifles and pistols but I do not know what the market is like. I've looked through the publications, visited Dixon's, been there for their Gun Show, and have started to buy plans and books on rifles and...

    Waxing your stocks

    Wax can be used as a finish or over a finish. The advantage of it is that it is real easy to "repair." If it blemishes just put more on and dissolves what was there. Of course, it doesn't protect like a very hard resin. I run a unfinished furniture store and we sell a wax called Briwax...

    New Here

    I am just rekindling my interest in black powder. I had been a shooter for a few years in my 20's and owned a Sharps .56 paper cartridge breechloader. I got away from shooting for a bit and am now looking to build some Pennsylvania rifles, probably to sell. I am lucky enough to have trained...

    purple heart wood............

    FYI - Musketman. I used to work in a shop that sold purpleheart and the word was it does not maintain that color indefinitely. It will change to a brown over time...or so I was told.

    Cherry wood.....

    Blahman. I am experienced as a furnituremaker, specifically 18th century. I am trying to get into rifle building. I would like to offer that there are tons of stains and dyes out there. The colors achieveable with these colors, available through any decent woodworking catalog, are endless...
