Making an antler handle ball starter as a little project this evening. It's in the clamp drying as we speak. One thing I really like about this muzzle loading stuff is that everything about it is real old time style gear. Very cool. This old cowboy is going back in time not forward...

Not sure I need one quite that big. But some elk sheds would be nice. Hard to come by where Im at. Once in a while I see the horn tips for sale on ALR.
