Nicely done on both especially the loading block.
Rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others. I do not add 'within the limits of the law' because law is often but the tyrant's will, and always so when it violates the rights of the individual.

What type of bone (Species and which bone) did you use? Also, are the stars on the bone a constellation, or an artistic device? You executed some very nice photography also!

I used a cow bone.
Setting the stars are "artistic" improvisation ;)

Piotr-cz, I like what you have done. I shows imagination and skill. I'm happy to learn that muzzleloading is not just confined to our neck of the woods. I have spent some time close to your neck of the woods and was rewarded with many happy memories. Best wishes, Smylee

your loading block is great, it got me thinkin I should have a couple, I found a real nice box elder wood burl that I'm going to try should be interesting.
