Edward Marshall Rifle

This is my take on the Marshall rifle, not an exact copy. It has a 54 caliber, c weight, Early transitional style Rice barrel. The lock was made by Danny Caywood. Reeves Goering brass mounts, with a sterling silver overlay on the triggerguard.  The curly maple stock has been relief carved. I modified the Davis double set triggers, and made the patchbox, ramrod pipes, ramrod tip, sideplate, and barrel lugs. Time to shoot!!

1st coat of oil going on

"Edward Marshall" Rifle in the works

Not an exact copy of the Marshall Rifle. She is getting there... Still some parts to add, carving engraving and a whole lot of finish work

Three Southern Mountain Rifles-past builds

Long Bow

This is a 6' hickory long bow with a 42# draw at 28". The handle is leather. I made this one for my brother's birthday from a kit. I've made them from scratch before, but didn't have any dried blanks this time around. Yes it is a lefty!

Belt Bag

Belt pouch I recently finished up. It's lined with a dyed pillow ticking, and the belt loop serves as an outside pocket

N.E. Fowler Targets

1st place had one more clay bird at this shoot. Excuses excuses... Anyway this was the 1st shoot out with the fowler. The card was just some fooling around on a weekend. Yup, they are terribly inaccurate flash bang guns!
