That's where they all keep coming from...
The tamper arrived from Griz! An awesome addition to my collection. Also came with four tobacco blends. I didn't know Boswell's made a VaPer blend! Thanks Griz!!
Love the cow horn Griz, yet some more awesome work.
Ok so I had this thought, since Chicago is coming up I would make me a new tamper.
The acrylic one is a .270 and the wood is wavy mahogany with .44 mag.
I knocked out the spent primers and made a mahogany plug for the primer pockets.

That acrylic one is freaking sweet!!!!!! And it's amazing what you can do with spent shells....Ok so I had this thought, since Chicago is coming up I would make me a new tamper.

@Griz and @Grrrrr609 you guys suck! Lol awesome work my friends!!
The acrylic is my favorite too. I'm going to order more of that color blanks. It turned out great. That wavy mahogany is beautiful on some of my pens but I'm disappointed as a pipe tamp.
Hahahahahahahahahahaha
grrr, I like them both, very nice work... Try an alcohol wood stain, mostly used for flintlock rifle stains, that will really bring out the curl in wood. The curly part gets dark and the softer part stays a little lighter...

I stole that off one of the historical sites I go to, I just posted that to show what a little alcohol base stain will do with curl. I use it on the maple caps on the powder horns I make to bring the curl out.
Well I have tons of stuff to do around the house but I felt like playing instead. I dug thru my pen kits and found this pen.
I used briar, stained black then med brown. Used a super glue finish.
Doesn't this look like a pipe tamper? Or am do I just have a PAD problem.

You know I should have thought of that. I do that to my pens and briar.grrr, I like them both, very nice work... Try an alcohol wood stain, mostly used for flintlock rifle stains, that will really bring out the curl in wood. The curly part gets dark and the softer part stays a little lighter...

I tried it after that fact and it didn't work too well. I had already waxed it so I'm sure the stain couldn't sink in.
