Thought I would share a recent project I made for a leatherwork entry at the local county fair. And yes it took first place.

Found a great reference. Buckles 1250-1800

Nice work!

Hurricane, I was able to the find the source quoted. Its available for download. Page 517 last paragraph. PROPOSALS FOR CARRYING ON AN EFFECTUAL WAR IN AMERICA, AGAINST THE FRENCH AND SPANIARDS. From a Quarto Edition, printed at London, in the Year MDCCI. 1701. "Proposals for Carrying on an Effectual War in America, Against the French and Spaniards" in The Harleian Miscellany

Thanks, Mate. An exercise of patience I promise you. I can't say it's a craft I'll continue, but I had to try it.

I tried my hand at this "past time" after seeing that every illustration. And no I have not had time to do the other 3 bottles I have.

Sadly, I will miss the exhibit. No more Christmas and summer trips to the Field Museum, Museum of Science and Industry, and the Shedd Aquarium for us. My mother-in-law sold her house in IL last week and now calls FL home.

My youngest and I at her school's Book Fair Treasure Hunt Night.

Get her the series, BlackJohn. I watch 2 or more episodes every feew months. Great show. William, just so I'm clear, I take it you created these bills?

Sounds like the beginnings of a Buccaneer Camp Fire Cookoff!
