My old flint wallet was getting pretty worn so I finally got around to making myself a new one. It is a vast improvement over its predecessor in both looks and function. I made this one out of deer hide and put dyed ring lizard inlays on it. I used rare earth magnets for the clasping mechanism and sewed it all up by hand using artificial sinew. I'm pretty happy with how it turned out and will be heading to the woods with it this weekend to kill some more squirrels.

Great job David. I enjoyed the article SMOKE POLE SQUIRRELS you wrote.

Nice job, Darren! I assume you are reaching out and touching them with a small caliber flinter 'squirrel rifle'?

Re: Made a new flint wallet
Thanks, Johnny, I appreciate that. That's the first piece I ever sold where I had a photo shoot with a professional photographer. I've got a pretty funny story about that and if I ever see you in person, remind me to tell it to you. I have another article coming out in that magazine in 2017 about building kid bows out of PVC pipe.
Kirk, even with a small caliber rifle, like a .32 or .36, I would tear up too much meat because I'm not good enough to make a head shot every time. No, I use these two smoothbores and #6 shot. The long gun is a 12 gauge and the pistol is a 20 gauge. Both were made for me by my good friend, John Pruitt, in Spring City, TN.
