Nicely done on both especially the loading block.

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
