Thanks for the complements. I did very little by hand. I made it on a monarch engine lathe built between 1900 and 1910. My original intention was to make an “essence of corn” bottle to resemble it. I haven't for fear of intoxicating my weapon ;D

I agree, that's a well made wooden flask.  I bet it took a LOT of drilling/boring/scraping/gouging to hollow it out.  But, Ahem! the shape is just so reminiscent of the bottles we usually see filled with, uh, "essence of corn".   chrrs

The server required some maintenance and Bigfoot pulled the plug but forgot to tell me... Hashi sent me an email and when I started looking into it I found the issue and contacted Bigfoot...  Then he mistyped the message telling me that the site should be back by the first of March... (He accidentally typed MAY!) I was frantic and asked him to confirm, he sheepishly admitted  that he had ment March but typed  May... It  is all good and I am sure Dryball is laughing at us from Rondy everlasting...

Thanks Hanshi. Yes its a Kibler. I bought the kit at a reduced price because it has a slight blemish in the forearm, a tiny knot. I used tanic acid and aqua fortis so the knot is barely visible. Your praise of the 45 throughout the years convinced me to try one. I hit that buck mid lungs and ribs were the only bone i hit. It went down like a rock instantly at fifty couple yards. After several attempts to get up it finally did but only made it about 30 yds. The doe didn't go down instantly but struggled to go about 40 with a similar hit. Thank you for your praise of that caliber. Do you think the velocity is what makes it such a fine deer rifle?

Funny story about the antlers on that buck. I was going to do a European mount myself but my antlers were stollen.
 I have what looks like a table outside and had the head skun sitting on it. Originally I built the table to provide shade for our husky while he was in his kennel. It is over 4 ft tall so he couldn't get on it and jump the kennel. The head was on that table friday afternoon around 4:00 pm and gone by mid day saturday.  No sign of bear, coyotes or any other mammals. I searched several acres of woods around my house extensively to no avail. We don't see lots of eagles in our area but  there was one hanging around that day. I dont know if he could have taken it or not. The brain was about the only thing it could have ate.

I've already done that.  We are told that in a few more billion years the sun will expand and burn the Earth to cinders and that even much later on the universe will expand and turn cold with no stars, planets or galaxies.  SO, why makes plans, think about the future, worry over anything since it will all be gone a trillion years from now.  That special hunting trip?  Forget it (unless you are able to squeeze it in before the above happens) because there won't even be a universe much less a decent guide service who can find game while floating in a vacuum.  pnic bunkr

A nagging question: What does the universe expand into???   [hmm]
Where do you have to go to take a photograph of this?  Plus, what are we looking at?? (susp)

That's a stunning SMR...Kibler??  And that big buck was no match for a .45 prb.  I guess I'm jealous.
