Title: Personnel Rum flask
Post by: mullet on November 23, 2012, 04:15:28 pm
I've been working on this little rum keg for a few months. It will fit in nicely with my black powder horns and shooting accourtraments.  Now that I have started scrimshawing it is a work in progress, kinda like getting tattoos. :) As soon as i put the staples in the walnut end caps and attach a landyard it is in business. What do ya think?

That's a really neat work of art there. Jack London would have been proud to take a swig from her..

Thank you, Ronnie.

Ben, I drove a nail into a 1/2' dowel and then cut the head off. Then sanded it to a needle tip. I also modified an Exacto tool. After I etch it I just rub india ink into it then lightly sand with 600 grit.

Nice scratchin' mullet.  I've made some horns and I can see that you're good at it. 

Arctic Grayling?  LOL I had the same thought J-dub.  ;D

     Dang JW you took the very words from my finger tips! :o   Well Eddie if anyone
else takes you to task for your mullet renderings, just tell them you took artistic license, in your depictions. ;)  Very good. 8)  I hope you boiled that horn, after you took it off of that dead cow! :P  I guess you could just put some Cruzan 151 in it and it would be ok. :P  Sounds like Cathy is going to be able to read in peace now that you are busy with a new hobby. ;D  How are things going down there?  When I get back, I will stop by, and take a look at your new addiction.  I need to get by Tim's and check out his Aquaponic system he has going now.  You should stop by and take a look at it.  You could have another hobby, that will really get those collards, and mustard going!  He can even supply the fish for the set up.  Nice job, lets see more.  You need to talk to him about getting with his brother and looking at those points his boss found in a cache in the field. ;)
     Take care, and say hi to Cathy, and any of the bow gang that happens to stop by.
