@@robinbaker9674 Hello Robin! Thank you for checking us out! I have never seen a hat made from porcupine but I have seen tanned porkies, so I guess you could make one, you would just have to be careful with it.😉It would be quite a statement piece. Welcome to the tribe, l like where your head is at!😁

@@jsteelsadventureandvariety4545 Thanks Janson, you’re awesome!

Thank you Travelswith, we should be able to show them mounted soon. My customer has been really nice about sending pictures.

Thank you so much JoseyWales, he really does like them a lot.

Thank you ExpressionVessels, it’s taken a long time to accumulate all the tools I use. Now if l can just keep them orderly.🥴

@@richparker7778 Thank you so much Rich, it means a lot to hear your thoughts on this, it’s like coal for my boiler!

@@scottmcfarland2149 Thank you Scott, that means a lot. It’s been wonderful to foster little Joey, she’s been out mixing with the locals but comes home for meals and naps.

@@StockmanOriginal that's awesome 👍🏻

@@ashleyanderson2859 Thank you Ashley, you would be so proud of me, I rebuilt my workbench and for the moment it’s kinda neat.😁

Hello mikE, it’s nice to meet another carver. I have worked with pine knots before and you’re right, they usually just need a good rubbing to bring the natural oils to the surface. I did put oil on the cedar knot just to ensure a good pop but even that one didn’t really need it. If you can get a hold of a hemlock knot l think you would really like it, they are very hard and shine when you slice it. Thanks for joining us here and welcome to the tribe!

Thank you for the kind words, and advice… on the Hemlock. I have never seen Hemlock, but I’ll look into it for a future project. Until next time - hope all is well.

Tactical Turtle, thank you for checking out our channel, we appreciate your support. You’re right, l’ve done that too and it works well.

Thank you so much Matt and welcome to the tribe! I’m glad you enjoyed this video, we have big plans for more on the subject coming soon.

@@StockmanOriginal I guess I'd do better scrim if I wore my kilt. Clan Buchanan here 🤘🎩🥄🤘

@@woodsbones Absolutely! So happy to have you in our tribe!

Wow Evan, that’s the coolest thing ever. I have worked on just about every kind of ivory there is except for Narwhal. Cherish it forever.

Thank you so much Alessandro!

Thank you Rushchaser!

Thanks Lee, yeah I kinda surprised myself with how tight it fits- quite pleased.

Thank you my friend.

Thank you Fouroakscrafts, I appreciate that.

@@StockmanOriginal I made some wooden grips (Zebrawood) for a police officer for a small 38 special. It's not easy. That ivory looks fantastic!

@fouroakscrafts7240 Oh, l bet those came out wicked nice!

Thanks YorkshireJoinery, I had intended to pop a few rounds off but something is goofy with the gun and only two chambers fired. Now I have to go in and figure that out.🤔🥴

Thank you very much Lucas!

Thank you JoseyWales, I’m very pleased with the outcome.

Thanks Joe, there’s one thing off my bucket list.

Thank you Ashley, I appreciate your support.

Plainnpretty, thank you so much. It was a tricky project but worked out well.

Thanks Willys, I’ll just let them do their thing. Being on a black powder pistol it shouldn’t take long.😁

Thank you Janson, I appreciate that! You take care as well, and say hello to “Special Guest Willy” for me.

@@StockmanOriginal will do :)

Thanks Scott, I think the ivory is so beautiful in itself that for this gun it’s enough. If it was a fancy engraved piece I might have stepped it up a notch.

Thank you Cipherzeroactual!

Thank you Roberteddy, I appreciate that.

Thank you so much Samuell, it’s nice to have more carvers in our tribe!!

Thanks William, it worked out well. I’ll try to get a video out tomorrow to show how it came out.

Hello Shawn, thanks for being part of our little tribe here. Where are you located? Red maples are pretty common here in New England.

P.S. They are also known as “ swamp maples “😉

Thank you Bruder, we’re so happy to have in our tribe!👍🏼

Thank you Thomas, we appreciate your support! Welcome to the tribe!😀

Thanks Josey Wales! Cool that you caught this for your namesake carried a brace of these in shoulder holsters in the movie!🤔😁

Thank you Denis, I’m pretty pleased with it so far. The hard part is done so it won’t take long now.

Hello Brian, thanks for checking in. I just stumble across it in antique shops or people find out l’m a scrimshander and bring me stuff. You can’t really just go looking for it.

Thank you Plainnpretty, it won’t be long now.
