Under Hammers, Horns and Knives

[BS]

I have some pictures of my Under Hammers, Knives and Horns on my Hunting Page......plus some of the other stuff that I build.

I also have pictures of most of my barrels.

There must be something to talk about!

Your horn is really nice. What did you use to cut the deer design?

John,

It was a small pattern file, the name is [Heller-AM SWISS, #13 S.S.A. CUT 2] I sharpend the end square an thr edge at the tip. The guy that showed me used sharpened dental tools. This file works much better for me.

I will post a picture, that will save 400 words.

The deer is from an old Reminton catalog, if anyone knows what year, that will tell me when I made the horn, about 84 I'm guessing.

I find the interchangeable barrels facinating. I'm considering gettin' a couple of others for mine. I've got a 20" .36 caliber barrel now, and would like about a 26 or 28" .50. Cal., and something in .36 or .40 for offhand targets. :thumbsup: :redthumb:

Scrounger,

If you have a two pc.[slip joint] longbow in the 55 lb. and 64"s long.............maybe I could help you out

Slamfire,
My next barrel will probably be a .40 cal.

My first barrel was half a 42"er x 36 cal. Buggy rifle! I had a very old can of FFF goex and she shot great, when that can run out, the barrel never shot as well.

Unfortunately I can't get any black locally, and everything else is geared to .45 and .50+ cal in lines, I only found one can of FFFg and that was 777. I've not had too much luck with it in my .50, but hope springs eternal. :winking:

They ship as little as 5 lbs, and you can mix types.

I have a slip joint Pacific Yew t/d in new condition, #56@28in. 62", this is a beautiful bow, shot very little, as i have about 20 bows, many which are selfbows that i made.I dont know what your underhammers may be worth as i am just getting back into blackpowder after 20 years absence, but this is a #700.00 bow new, it was made in 2003, and ive shot maybe 100 arrows thru it. It is made by Jay St.Charles, and signed by him and his father Glenn.
