I wish that gun could talk Kevin. I think it would have some interesting stories stories to tell. When I look at that gun, I see one that might not win any beauty pageants, but I see a lot of 10x's in the postal shoots. You can do it Kevin. And John, looking forward to that range time report. And how could anybody not like the aroma your describing.

Looks like a daunting project, my friend.  You are just too ambitious.  Best of success on it.

Meanwhile in LaLaLand, I am just getting ready to head up to Templeton to pick up my muzzleloader from the gunsmith.  I had him convert the smoothbore barrel from flintlock to percussion.  Then I might swing by the newly opened rifle range to check it out on the way home.  I will report after I get back as to whether or not they welcome the delightful aroma of sulphur smoke there.

If you look just south of the box you can see two lines where the stock had been broken in the past and repaired
 Might refinish the stock, might not

 Decided to work on the patch box of my auction rifle.
 Lots of wood filler was used by someone in the past. The lid of the the patch box was epoxied shut
 I'd really like to use the box so figured clean it up and glue in a plug so I can start fresh
 I've got all the fixings to make the spring and catch.

Well you won't have to long for the rendezvous season to start. Just talked to the landowner where we have our shoots this morning. He said, do you realize it's only 4 weeks till our first shoot.
That's some pretty good looking stuff you're making buddy. Like the button, and Eric should like that strap.

Not much happening here.
 Went to a gun show a week or so ago and took my northstar chiefs grade smoothbore to sell
 Didn't even get out of the parking lot with it before I sold it
 That enabled me to order a new kibler kit
 Put a couple new straps on some bags
 This one belongs to our friend Eric

 The old strap was too thin and needed a new buckle.

 This one is a bag I started a few years ago and just never finished.
 Thought I'd try something besides a buckle

 Gonna make a few new bags and start a few new horns
 Waiting on rendezvous season to start .

Good Hank. Doors were not to open until 12:00. But talked to a guy who said there were people in there shopping a little after 10:00.

Went to Pricketts Fort in WV today. Saw a lot of nice stuff. But I came home with only a 65 grain powder measure. Sorry for no pictures, but this old flip phone doesn't take good pictures and I wouldn't know how to get them on the forum anyway.
