Powder measure for Marc's kindness
« on: April 14, 2022, 08:18:04 PM »
Like Dave, I also got a bag from Marc and the debt has been out there for several years. I hope this serves as a worthy down payment for a wonderful bag. Also pictured is my original measure with some engraving added.

Those are outstanding.  I have trouble engraving on a flat surface.  Really nice payment!

Ken-I can't take credit for the engraving. I've never tried it and the work on these measures was done by Jim White, a fellow Alaskan.
