What's that, you ask? (It's a cover for the frizzen on a flintlock rifle.)
I went to visit my friends Henry and Debora after I finished work in Roanoke this week. Like me, they do the 18th century reenactment thing.
Henry, proprietor of Fort Vause Outfitters, has just produced a DVD teaching basic leatherworking. I got a private showing while I was there, and it was very very good. He discusses tools and leather basics, and leads the viewer through making a frizzen stall and a colonial wallet.
The DVD is available from Panther Primitives, at this link:

Roanoke
is known as the Star City of the South -
It's got this star
up on Mill Mountain
shining its light
all year round.
I've hiked around up there
and seen it up close.
It's a 100' star, probably the largest there is.
