Here is a neat little idea for those antlers that are to small for any thing except buttons.
I used the crowns to make these, they are for my .32.
The measure is made to throw 30 grs and the brush has natural bristles. Takes maybe 45 min. if you take your time.

Nice, I'm still waiting to get my first Turkey to make a pan brush or two. :thumbsup:


Dont you have plenty of hippies over there you could just get some long hair clippings from? :wink:
 
I ain't seen a hippie since the day a VW mini bus stopped at a neighbors house and a couple got out and sat on the steps to the house playing a guitar, waiting for a couple of my neighbors kids getting ready to head to place called Woodstock....

Swampy, you should come here to southeastern Vermont. Were it not for their disproportional policical representation, it would be almost humorous ... somehow, these folks have 'morphed' from the relatively harmless sociological footnote into a real political force, and they seem to believe that they're entitled to whatever property they see or might have use for ... well, that's why i have a big dog and a bad attitude ... (actually had a neighbor tell me "i'm a socialist, you can't tell me what to do" after i asked him to keep his dog off my property and away from my livestock ... i told him that i was a landowner, and i'd do whatever i felt was appropriate to protect my stock from his dog).

anyway, i really like the brush. What was the hair? how do you attach it?

thanks!
 
I see your Southeastern Vermont, I hunted in Weatherfield, just outside of Springfield up until 83', Family had a camp across from Wellwood Ochard. Wasn't any Hippy's I saw back then anyway But I'm sure a lot has changed since the time I was there. :v
 
in response to msw.

I hear you on the Vermont. seen i dug up my roots and moved the family out of the in 2003. My family had been in the state before it was a state.But was watched become a sub- of NJ then into west coast on the east. When I was younger thought it was the best place on the plant. plaining a trip to see family this summer might just be the last time I see the place.
 
greenmountainboy, i'm sorry to see your kind head out.

last time i saw this kind of culture- war animosity was when my then fiance now wife walked down locust walk on the university of pennsylvania campus in uniform and were spat at- it wasn't 'cool' to be a ROTC cadet, but it was cool to assault someone you'd never met.

it seems that now all the people who move in here are a bunch of self entitled, sentitious hippie dippie new age, new left nuts & berries tofu sucking flatlanders who really believe that we can all make a living selling love beads to the tourists. these are the people who think that the nuclear power plant is bad because ... (let's face it, nuclear power was invented for the war, and war is bad, so nuke plants are bad) and that wind power is bad 'cause it messes up the visual naturalness of the ridgeline, and coal fired plants are bad 'cause they're producing acid rain, and petro fired power plants are bad 'cause we want to be independant from all those nasty OPEC people ... what should we do for electricity, oh longhaired smelly one?

take fewer showers.

well, i must admit that i was made to feel more welcome in the mid- south, where if you can't go to the churchyard and point out your greatgrandfather's headstone you're "not from around here."

well, that's the rant for today ... sorry to 'vent' but it looks like the state is just becomming a bedroom community of Boston. i'm looking for someplace where the farmers market has something other than organic zuccini bread, but i'm getting a bit long in the tooth to go pulling up stakes.

by way of getting back on thread, Hawkthrower, how did you attach the bristles? I think they look cool!
 
Sorry it took so long to get back to you. I actually used hide glue on this one. Seems to be working out well. Kind of watching it though as I never tried the natural stuff before.

Please note,
greenmountainboy is not me

I was wondering why I got several email from forum buddies wondering when I changed my name.
maby one of us should change our title enough so as not to get confused with each other.
:hatsoff:

No doubt,
I grew up on a farm that has been in my famley for two hundred years bought for in blood in the North East Kingdom.
I moved west in 1988 because of Canadian second home owners and flat landers from NY,Mass etc.. moving in and not respecting our rural way of life and the fact that they hated the idea that we as Vermonters can carry guns anywhere any time.
I bird hunted deer hunted and ran a trap line to school every day, just about.
I would get to school unload shot gun, rifle, or my Grampies K22 put it in the locker and diden't take it out until after school. And that was in the 80s.
Vt lost her identiy a long time ago.

Mudd turtle, These bristles came from a very old paint brush. The handle was marked as natural pig bristles. I got about 6 very large ones in a box of stuff I bought at a house sale almost ten years ago. Don't know what I will do when my stash runs out.

Very nice set. I like to watch you artists so I can get ideas. I don't copy, but I get ideas. I was thinking about using horse hair for a brush. I've got some laying around here somewhere. Any comments?
