Chuck, great job  man. I really like your beadwork, it is always first rate. Like that horn also, is that one of yours?

Glad ya'll like the look see! got more to post, but have to "develop" my photos and the shop keeps a calling!!!!

GB - that horn is an original - dated 1791 and again 1825 (and it's my keeper!)....here's a couple of other images....






The small horn is one I made and scrimmed about 40 years ago - time does sure fly.........

By the way do you know about Scott Sibley's book on making horns? He and his wife Cathy are two of the top makers and scrimmers today and the book is an excellent one.

GCR,

Nice looking horn! 

[Marshal Will Wingam]

Beautiful sheath, Chuck. I like the fooferaw, too. That horn is totally fascinating. Real history, there. So cool.

[Gun Butcher]

  Chuck, thanks for the links. I'm sure I will enjoy them. I have been following Scott and Cathys work for many years. they are top drawer no doubt about it.

Well heres another rawhide sheath for you. I made this one for an old green river knife that I put new handles on last week.

It is a rawhide body and is laced with rawhide.

[Ten Wolves Fiveshooter]

     GB, this sheath and knife are cool, nice work all around, and I like the bead work on the fringe, it's a accent.

Great work GB, your very talented pard.
Just finished this birdshead hunter up.6 1/2" aged and etched 1095 blade, cocbolo handle.The sheath was setup for gunbelt, and also given a stud for inside the belt or boot carry.Although not needed I added a buckskin thong and antler for retention, which can be removed if desired.Dave
