ball starter

(1/1)

knap_123:
i bought a new 54 cal. saint louis rife and needed something to start my bullet with.  a guy said to take a piece of dowel and drill a hole in a piece of antler and make one or but one.  well, i did,nt like the idea so i tryed my hand at carving one.  the wood is eastern hawthorn orironwood. i heated the rod end up to make it harder and stained it with walnut minwax. then i hit  it with sandpaper trying to antique it some.  i think i'll melt a old silver nickel and dip the end in it later.

Very cool, and creative.  I made mine out of an old gear shift knob and shaft off a riding lawnmower, but yours is much more classy :) I like it!
