    Axe Rant

    Just watching PBS's Antiques Roadshow from a 2000 episode. A guy had a Pipe Hawk, 1780-90 with a silver federal eagle band, initialed GW and TH they think George Washington gave it to a certain soldier Tom (can't remember last name), missing the end cap and mouthpiece, curley maple handle...

    Almost gave up!

    Went out for the 1 week opener here in Washington State and got soaked day in, day out. Decided that maybe BP wasn't for me. Then, I licked my wounds, and pulled up my big boy pants, and thought how many Mt. Men would have turned into Accountants or Shop Keepers with that attitude! Making a Cows...

    Restoring Tin Cookware

    Said to heck with it! Sending to my daughter in Alaska, she's an artist and will clean them up and paint scenes on them! I'm buying new tin stuff on line! Still a good deal for $5!

    Restoring Tin Cookware

    This might be the better location. Got a couple enameled (?) tin plates and a fry pan. All have a couple worn spots and some rust. Anyone ever restore? Thanks!

    Pitch?

    Funny thing, since posting this had to work outta town and remove a BUNCH of Choke Cherry trees. Didn't have time to remove pitch but there was a ton of it, most likely from the heat.

    Pitch?

    Hope this is the correct place to ask. Not a lot of Pine trees in Western Washington. What types of pitch have been used in place of pine-pitch? I would think Fir pitch would be fine. Anyone ever use Cherry pitch? No specific use, just whatever pitches have been used for. Thanks!

    Sasquatch shoots himself

    With all the BASHING done (?) and VALID points made, we all make mistakes! Some dumber than others.

    Flintlocks and rain

    Got a question. New to BP and wanted a flintlock and got talked into percussion as I live in Washington state. How do flintlocks fair in rainy climates? I'm guessing they used 'em here back in the day and still do. I read they used a leather cover over the frizzen?

    Traditions Hawken Kit

    FML, do you hunt with the Buckskinners lube? Read an ad for it and says strictly for target shooting? What would be the difference? If so, what lube to hunt with? I understand it's a personal preference thing too! Appreciate all info!

    Traditions Hawken Kit

    Didn't care for the olive oil much. Better shots with Bore Butter or just plain spit. Think I'm gonna try a thinner patch too.
