Southern Mountain vs. Tennessee

[smoothy]

I want to see'em all. Original, converted, repaired, over-used, rusted beyond repair,etc. This would give a better idea of a lot of variances in design.

 

If You want to see a lot both contemporary, and antique Try the blog spot at http://contemporarymakers.blogspot.com/ Scroll around to April, and May. Also search for the Norris Southern Show. If you can't find something on this sie, you're hopeless :rotf: Here's some of the pic's I took at the show two years ago.

Jan Riser Photographing A Hershel House I owned

Hershel House

Okwaho- Tom Patton

Below are a few of mine

A Steve Bookout-Bookie's Miss Magie, And The Hershel House Hershel has one grease hole. The stickers on the Bookout are from the Sgt. York over the log shoot in Pall Mall Tennessee. Below it is A .40 by Ken Guy- Packdog, And the curly walnut is by Keith Lisle- Birddog6

Hershel, Me and The Rifle. There's quality pic's of it on the blog.

 

Last one was getting a little long, Here's a few more.

Dennis Glazner, author of a history of the Gilespie family of gunmakers. He's ogling the House rifle. Another great book to own.

Jim Chambers, left, and Ed Rayle, right talking what else but barrels, and locks

Mel Hankla taking a break on the porch at the museum. If you go to the show in Norris at the Museum of the Appilachia, you get to tour the whole museum also, and the smoked pork sandwiches are to die for. I have some more pic's, but I have to load them to PBucket first.
