Started making a flint wallet for the Southern bag
So excited to see the thumb piece on then stock! Even if it needs inlet the rest of the way!!Today I drilled and tapped the thumb piece. This was cast by Dave Person. This thumb piece has a "Boss" that is tapped and bolted through the wrist. The bolt is hidden under the trigger guard. I modified a bolt to fit. The bolt is good to go and I have started inletting the piece. Ignore the rough drawing of the tang carving. That was a quick sketch just to see how the thumb piece will look with the carving. I'll refine that later.

What was your construction method? What was the farthest you journeyed in one?Not today, but looking back on one of our trips with our 32' freighter canoe, on the Marias River. We built four freighters over the years, from 26 to 32'.
