Some things are better kept simple . Thanks for watching

Thank you. Got it at a local antique store. It's a Cowichan hand knit by natives in British Columbia. Funny thing was I had wanted one for a couple years and was thinking of ordering one off ebay the same day I found that one

Always appreciate the support🤘🏻

The tacks are paying homage to the fur trade and specifically the trade rifles, which were often decorated in a similar way to appeal to the natives who usually (depending on the specific tribes religious beliefs of course) views their weapons as sacred rather than just a tool. In many cases the decorations represented this sacredness, whether with a mythical serpent or Thunderbird on the opposite side of the lock, or as I've done here with tacks. The star design on the buttstock represents the four directions, the four stages of life, the four seasons, the four sacred colors (red, black, yellow and white), and the four elements. The arrow design on the forend (which conveniently outlines some checkering) represents the need to keep moving forward regardless of what my be in front of you. . Thanks for watching
