I have  stiff and loose buffing wheels that do a great job of putting a mirror finish on metal. Really makes a difference on reducing friction. What brand of frizzen is that, Eric? I have a Thompson Center Hawkins 50 cal I built from a kit 30 years ago, but put a Lyman frizzen on it a while back. I've never seen a shower of sparks like that Lyman frizzen throws off. Put it on 8 years ago and that gun has not miss fired yet. Also put on one of those cone shaped touch holes that funnels the fire into the chamber.  I only fill the flash pan about 1/4 with 4F and it goes off like a center fire rifle.

Chambers English round face lock. Found the right combination of wads, powder and shot for a pretty good pattern, going after turkeys tomorrow.

I cut some more osage today.  After that last tree I had my mind made up that I was done cutting for the year but I couldn't pass this up.  The county is widening the road and they pushed a bunch of trees over on my neighbors property.  He told me I could cut as much as I wanted.  I left work at 8:00 this morning and had the truck loaded by 10:00.  I got a lot of great pieces.  Some were damaged a little by their equipment but not bad enough to cause much loss.  All of it has very thick rings and is pretty straight.  I was able to get the truck right up to the wood except for the biggest pieces.  They were in a creekbed.  I had to flip them end over end a few times to get them to the truck.  I also grabbed a super straight piece of black walnut.  It has a lot of sapwood and little heartwood. 




All of the rings look like this

I know how I'm spending my summer.  Just like I did the summer of 2011.  Split, peal, seal.  Split, peal, seal.  Split, peal, seal.  Split, peal, seal.  :P  Split, peal, seal.  Split, peal, seal.
