Title: Carved Powder measure
Post by: T.C.Albert on September 25, 2021, 11:42:08 PM: Working on a powder measure to go with a new bag.
Not sure I like how it turned out or not but I’m no
Great carver so it will have to do.

Just the right blend of realism and folk art.
Not folksy enough to seem "cheesy" or lazy, and not high art realism enough to seem impractical.

Kind Regards

He didn't think it came out like he wanted, but it is one of my all-time favorite horns. This measure is wonderful. The right balance of art, whimsy, and function. Most excellent. God Bless, Marc

Yeah, but you set a new bar for "cool". Sort of like Steve McQueen.

Post by: LynnC on November 05, 2021, 09:29:47 PM: I like your measure very much. It has that native American effigy look to it. Perhaps a traded item.
