Goodies

Firstly, I am remiss in not posting these earlier...only excuse I can give is that I was changing over from a defective computer and there was no time. Anyway...here goes. First is this beautiful ball bag that David Roaring Bull gave me for a Christmas present...he saw it on ebay and knew that I had a shooting bag that woul be matched by this ball bag. Thank you David! This was a wonderfully thoughtful gift.

Next is this fabulous powder horn by Scott " Oregon Horner". This was a trade but I feel very guilty for getting the better deal by far. Thanks Scott...I will treasure it always.


And last, but not least, this unbelievable hand made knife by Jerry "JBullard1" It is everything I could wish for and will be my constant companion on many future rendezvous and treks.Thank you Jerry!

Glad you like it

Well in all our backslapping we forgot to mention the "Magic File" of Tom's
The man is a genius

Your right, and I am so sorry! I could not show his work with my camera skills, but it is fantastic! It must take not only a great deal of skill but almost as much patience....and Jerry, your inletting of the scalloped handle was equally amazing! You two together are a team that can't be beat.

Enjoy that horn Ned!  I'm glad it went to a good home.  BTW, you should show what's scratched on the other side of the horn...

You sure are gatherin some nice stuff.

For those interested, the artwork on the horn I traded Ned is my daughter's.  She drew them on the horn and I scratched them in.  One the one side is a Red Tail hawk perched on a snag.  The opposite side of the horn has a Red Deer Stag.  My daughter is developing quite the artistic style, and I love it whenever I can get her to produce something to put on my horns.  You got some good stuff there Ned...

That's why I chose this horn Scott....I'm a sucker for family collaborative art. I think you knew that somehow.
