Brass Barreled Flintlock Pistol-in works

Still a lot to be done. This pistol has an 11" 45 caliber smooth bore barrel. The stock wood is a figured piece of walnut. Mounts are iron.

More Knives

Both of these blades where hand forged from old files. Both have full tapered tangs, steel bolsters, and stamped makers mark. Seven 1/16" steel pins secure the handle slabs and steel bolsters.
The smaller knife with a 4 1/2" blade is 8 1/4" overall, and  has a curly maple handle. The blade is 1/8" thick in the spine.
The larger knife is 10 1/8" overall with a 6" cutting edge and a 3/16" spine. The handle is caribou antler.
Both have a well fitted vegetable tanned leather sheath sewn with waxed linen thread.

Bucks County Youth Rifle

Well, it still needs a bit off touch up but here she is. Yes, my kids are spoiled! This has a curly maple stock, 31" 36 caliber swamped Rice barrel(custom), a Davis little becky lock, all parts are handmade except barrel, lock and screws. The trigger guard is a purchased one that I had to cut apart and modify to fit. Length of pull is 11 1/4". Ramrod is hickory split from a board with a steel tapered tip. It is a light weight rifle with very nice balance! I hope they like it.

Hunting Knife

This knife has a 3 1/2" blade forged from an old file. Over all length is 7 1/2" with the whitetail deer antler tip handle and pewter bolster. One steel pin adds extra security and strength to the handle. The vegetable tanned leather sheath is fitted to the knife, sewn with linen thread and dyed dark. Blade is also stamped with maker's mark(CM)

Too many irons in the fire

On top of my day job I have currently been working on....a youth rifle, a Lancaster rifle, a knife, a pistol barrel, cleaning jags and tapered ramrod tips. I could probably add to that list too but it kinda makes me feel overloaded just thinking about it
