From the scrap box
« on: October 18, 2020, 04:30:31 AM »

Friend Dick Roberson ebony, friend Jay Massey asian buffalo horn, friend Don Koenigs Alaska yellow cedar, Turkish walnut, thin shell California walnut from my first rifle project in 1975, Dall sheep horn from my only successful sheep hunt in 1978, and linen cord from Latvia. Can't get any better than that for me.



A less than satisfying first experience with leather dying on the .54 and .58 bags but should age just fine.
