2018 Dixon's Gunmakers Fair

I was honored when a haversack I made for Shane Emig of Cabin Creek Muzzleloading was awarded a Judges Choice Award at Dixon's Gunmakers Fair in Kempton, PA this past weekend.



The Warrior's Clutch in Print and 1st Display

The Warrior's Clutch, a group collaboration to be auctioned at the Contemporary Longrifle Association's annual event, was on display this past weekend at Dixon's Gunmakers Fair in Kempton, PA.  It is also currently on the covers/inside of Muzzleloader Magazine, American Traditions, and Muzzleblasts.  I made the hunting pouch in collaboration with Shawn Webster.
