Bone dice?
by MadL- 10 replies

I have been seeking some dice made of Bone and not having much luck within the US, plenty of sources overseas where I must pay extra due t' our weak dollar, vat tax, overseas shipping, etc. But none within the US colonies?? Of course now I be seeking 'olden' looking dice, preferable ones that LOOK handmade (if not truly handmade) and not the new, shiny, obviously machine made ones that ye can find at any hobby shop. Or, does anyone know where I can obtain raw bone that be solid through enough t' make me own? I need 5 total (perhaps even 10 or 20). But not antler bone, I would prefer bone from Inside a critter, or even ivory if it not be too expensive...yah, right!! Wh…

Does anyone know where I can get Mr. Gibb's vest or have one made. From the look of it, it seems to be a short waisted seaman's jacket with the sleeves torn off. I would like the option of having sleeves or no sleeves as in making them removeable. It seems to have lapels with 2 rows of silver buttons, one row on each lapel. From what I can tell from other coats of this type, the sleeves would have the same big cuffs with buttons as in the frock type pirate coat. Any one help a mate out?

Arrrr right, Now it's my turn to step up with a version of the Cartouche Box. In keeping with an older thread in "Twill" about how not all boxes would be exactly the same as the Whydah box, here is the start of my hybrid Whydah/Phips box. Whne complete you will have your choice of wooden liner or no liner. It's gonna fit a 3" belt, and if someone wants I can even adapt it to a shoulder sling. No this really don't belong in "How to Address a lady" (Widow Phips.... reaching, but, hey ...) It's not finished yet, but, it's comin' along nicely though. closed .... open .... always tryin' new stuff!

Ahoy Maties This belt is based on a 17th century French colonial infantry sword belt that would have worn during the Golden Age of Piracy. With this belt I tried to keep historically accurate. The belt is 6cm wide and has a large 2 pronged period correct brass buckle. There is a removable plug bayonet frog (which holds the John Barnett replica version). The buckle is off centre like the original belts to allow bellyboxes or cartridge pouches to be worn £60

I've just about exhausted my sources looking for a headcovering that would be appropriate for late 1600's to mid 1700's. Something large and in period colour. I've been to standard piratical sites but all they have are the black ones with skulls. I've been to various longhunter, and rev war gear sites and have come up empty. Any help is geatly appreciated.

Well I only have 2 sets of garments left to make for our crew. I wanted to gloat a bit and post pics of them here. Any comment, remarks, and complaints welcome. Here we go. The fabric was a tan and brown (light brown) with a herringbone pattern. It was hand dyed to the greenish color you see. I did several tests in order to keep the zig zag pattern. Too long in the dye bath and you would lose the pattern and it would be solid green. Its faint but still visible. The fabric is a silk/ cotton blend. If memory serves me right, I think it was 60% silk/ 40% cotton. I lined with a 60% Linen/ 40% Cotton blend. PANT- Are a 95% wool/ 5% spandex blend. (It was on slae at Jo A…

Ahoy aloft and Alow, At the end of January, members of our crew inquired with Loyalist Arms & Repairs as to whether they had any Early British Sea-Service pistols in stock. We were expecting a wait, and scrambled to get an order together for 5 of them when we learned they had them in stock, in .64 caliber (they offer them in .62 and .64). Once they recieved the money, Loyalist assured us that it would be a matter of a few weeks time, as they had to assemble and fit and finish the pistols in their shop, as their normal custom for quality control. Three weeks later (there were a few unavoidable delays, due to minor family crisis and weather), the pistols arrived on m…

Me provisions officer finally finished me coat! (sort of, it still needs buttons) Me in the coat Coat laid out Detail of pocket and cuff This is from the Jas Townsend 1770's pattern: http://jas-townsend.com/product_info.php?p...products_id=419 I changed the design of the cuff, I didn't like the way the cuff it calls for looked. Other than that, it's made to specs. I am probably going to use black frogs instead of buttons for the closures, they will look nice with the black trim. But for the cuffs and pockets, I am going to try for either period-style buttons, or some other buttons that just look nice.

For those looking for simple shoes. I just recieved my reship of shoes. I originally ordered both a pair of the Concord and Franklin from Fugawee. Though both were a bit too big(Figured they'd run small) while in fact they run as normal sizes. They are great to work with and devivery time was almost nonexistant. Now I can't decide which ones I like better. Give em a looksee! Rats

This is a Replica of King George 1st 1717 Proclamation announcing the Act of Grace, and the London Gazette broadsheet from 14th September 1717 reporting the Act of Grace being issued. This act was to suppress piracy in the West Indies by allowing Pirates to surrender themselves to any agents of the government and recieve a full pardon of their crimes. Close ups of the documents: Both documents are actual size and are printed on parchment paper at the moment until i can source some hemp paper or the like. The Proclamation is 12"x17" and the Broadsheet (which is double sided) is 6.5"x11.5". I gave them both a weathered look as I imagine the Proclamation was put u…

Well, I wanted a really big tricorn, so I bought one of the JAS-Townsend fur felt blanks with extra large brims and had at it. Here's how I went about it... 1) Cut the 'scalloped' edges off of the brim 2) Steamed the brim so I could bend it just enough to tack it in place with thread without creasing the brim. This is some heavy duty felt. 3) Steamed some more to get the basic shape I wanted. 4) Waterproofed each side (letting dry in between) with thinned shellac. This results in all kinds of neat wavy compound curves when the shellac cures. 5) Steamed and shaped again to get rid of some of the curing curves I didn't want and to accentuate some that I did. 6) Ha…

Just got me new cutlass from Loyalist Arms & Repairs of Canada and I can recommend her without reservation. She's the "17th/18th Century Dutch Cutlass," and while I don't know the true provenance I think she's a fine munition grade generic cutlass for anytime from 1650-1860s. The hilt is a graceful half-basket connected to the pommel-cap. The grip seems to be hardwood. Gaurd and grip are covered with a heavy coat of dull-black paint, an excellent idea for sea service. A magnet test proves that the guard and pommel are steel. Blade is about 26" and slightly curved, with a broad fuller 3/4s its length with a narrow fuller along the top of the broad one. The tip is spea…

In the bit of cyber searching I have done one thing I notice it that there is a shortage of period shoes. Or I am just a lousy shoe hunter. Seems I can find most clothing items after a fashion. But shoes / boots - that is another story. The time period I am looking at is around 1680 to 1730. At least that is the time period of the crew I have been talking to. What would the average sailor where (not going barefoot) and is there something to be had for less than the $200 - $150 range I have been seeing. thanke mates if it burns blue, drink it

Big Mike is moving some knives from his collection. Mike is a friend of mine and has been making one of a kind knives for years. I've bought some 9 pieces from him myself. He's asked me to post a few from his collection as he just finished his new knife shop and wants to move on to all new creations. SEE NEW ADDITIONS THROUGHOUT THE THREAD. SOLD: The first is a damascus knife about eight and a third inches overall with brass and Malachite fittings and a dark wood which I believe is ebony. SOLD: The second is a curved, double edged blade with a little wear and natural patina and mottling of black and brown on the blade. The handle is made of tulipwood…
