New England Fowler / Militia Gun
« on: Today at 01:40:52 PM »
Friday morning I watched Ethan Yazel's video where he finally opens his Chambers New England fowler after it sat quietly for two years, and it felt oddly perfect, because I had spent the previous evening contemplating getting one of my own and decided I'd sleep on it. Yesterday, I pulled the trigger.

I'm pretty excited to finally share my New England Colonial Fowler / Militia Musket, built by Cory Joe Stewart. It's exactly the kind of honest, workmanlike piece that keeps pulling me deeper into this period.

Paired with it is a plug bayonet by Nathan Allen, which absolutely completes the martial side of the story, and a beautifully done woven strap by Shayna Matthews that ties the whole thing together (literally and aesthetically).

There's something special about seeing a project come together from multiple skilled hands. This one feels right at home in the colonial / militia world, and I'm looking forward to putting it to use.

Grateful for the craftsmen keeping this tradition alive.
