What Muzzleloading Stuff Did You Do Today?

[Hatchet-Jack]

I finished up the horn today. I like incorporating a hint of hues to these.
The empty medallion on the off-side will have the owners initial engraved there.
I think it came out pretty good.

Beautiful! Pathfinder you have really developed a style that is recognizable. Nice work!

Are you going to connect the two holes in the wedge. I don't see how it would work otherwise. I've thought about making making my own wedge plates but was uncertain about matching them. Never occurred to me to just accept them without worrying about perfection.

yes...connect the holes...but deeper in the wedge

Thanks HJ- Thank you! I like creating these Folk-art influenced horns. It's think it's a style that's developing from my love of things Pennsylvania-Dutch (with some liberties taken).

Very sorry to hear that. It will hurt deep. Hang in there

I’m sorry to hear that. My fur ball is a 18 years old and then some, I know how much they mean.
Part of the family.

The Trade Gun was one of the early guns that I built back in the 70's when Curly still owned North Star. I had built one for a club member and liked it so much I had to make myself one.
That one I will still have when I leave this earth.
