Title: Antler powder measures
Post by: B.Barker on October 16, 2024, 03:40:09 AM

Here is a group of antler powder measures I finished up this week. I drilled out the side of one of them. It got a small lead patch on it and the thing held much better than I thought it would. It's been several years since I had an oops like that.

That just happens every now and again to remind us that we are mere mortals.  I am reminded more frequently than I think I need.

Great work Brian!

Love the variety and details.

Also think the patched hole would be authentic.

Thanks for sharing.

Regards,

Doug

Those powder measures are quite delightful. I have one for my .36 that someone sent me as a gift
after one of the chunk matches I put on here, many years ago. I still use it but had to increase the
charge for the .36.

Brian, you are very talented and do nice work.  I especially like that third one from the left!

Very nice work and design. One looks like the rattles on a rattlesnake tail. I wonder if one could tan part of the tail and rattler and use that as a cover over an antler measure?
