I started making accoutrements again. I have a lot of small animal bones; So small items I make. Here's a simple item people always ask, "Where can I get a ?????". Make it & some extras to trade, add for shooting blanket prizes etc. Retired, finding time wasting in bad weather.... Hey, not in my house. I started doing several of these simple touch hole picks. Next I'll follow with small pan brush/brooms. Ball starters, nappers for flints used while they're still in the jaws. Always need todo busy work.

All much needed items. Looking good buddy. Now if you can find anyone interested in shooting muzzleloaders and using those kind of items. Good luck with that.

That's certainly a unique short starter, I have a few bones laying around looking to become something.
Thanks for the idea.

   Thanks for the comeback Welcome comments Been in some bad health but seems to be stable. Comment of picture info! The bottom picture is a Pheasant Foot. Where it meets the cloth is a steel 3" pin for a touchhole cleanout tool. It hangs from my rifle pouch. When someone asks,
"What is that?" I say, "Pheasant foot"! Then the scenario repeats...????? Then, I grip it how you see it and say, "Really, it's an answer for stupid questions!'. They'll look puzzled and I repeat until they see IT.... & feel STUPID.... and say, "O K" while they nod their head. I also have a turkey foot on the end of the white, whole leg (about 7-8"- Looks great when held out toward you). It's a HOOT STATEMENT, one of the LOL parts for rendezvous and shoots.  :Doh! :applaud :luff: ;banghead; :stooges:
