lol thanks. Here's some more:

A Scottish Dirk I've been working on [a WIP] - blade is 3/16" x 2" x 13" @ 1090 Carbon with an elk antler handle. This is for my Class A uniform for Honor Guard:

Tip:



Edge - was hand honed with a stone:



Tang almost done:




What it will basically look like when finished:



Then I have to make the scabbards. One will be utilitarian [common 10-12 oz leather] and the other will be made from a Clarino finish [aka Patent leather] Sam Browne belt [for the uniform].

druid, you are well on your way to the dark side!

here are some books to complete your journey:
Recreating the 18th Century Powder Horn by Scott and Kathy Sibley http://www.trackofthewolf.com/Categories/PartDetail.aspx/76/1/BOOK-R18CPH
and
Recreating the 18th Century Hunting Pouch, by T.C. Albert http://www.trackofthewolf.com/Categories/PartDetail.aspx/49/1/BOOK-R18-CHP

by way of a warning: you need a separate horn and pouch for each and every muzzle loader you own. remember, also, that you can never be too rich, too thin, or have too many muzzle loaders ...
:rotf:

good luck with your projects!

LOL...thanks for the links :thumbsup:

Currently I only own one smoke pole and [for the moment] is the only one I think I need.

I'll definitely check out those links though.

Great books alright, and immensely useful. To the list I'll add this one. My stitching really took off when that one arrived in the house.
