This the black powder flask that I made over few nights I thought I would make one out of wood as all the ones I have seen were made using a cows horn but I just wanted to try something different all the brass fittings I also hand made that replicate one I saw made in the 1800,s apart from the brass knob use too fill the flask that I bought from a hardware store.What do you think any comments appreciated thanks.

That's very interesting and good-looking. Might you give us a rundown of your procedure? This could catch on.
I might just do that I will have to write it all down how I did make it.Originally Posted by chsparkman
Yes your "new" design is nicely done. I am sure that not just me is waiting for the a better description.
Mark 5:34 And He said to her (Jesus speaking), "Daughter, your faith has made you well. Go in peace and be healed of your affliction."
Very nice! Never saw one made from wood before. I made one from a Y section of Elk antler years ago and put it up for a prize at one our club shoots. Always thought if I built another flintlock I'd make a small one for a priming horn.
BIG OR SMALL I LIKE THEM ALL, 577 TO 22 HORNET.
Looks good!
Nice!!
The solid soft lead bullet is undoubtably the best and most satisfactory expanding bullet that has ever been designed. It invariably mushrooms perfectly, and never breaks up. With the metal base that is essential for velocities of 2000 f.s. and upwards to protect the naked base, these metal-based soft lead bullets are splendid.

Forget everything you know about loading jacketed bullets. This is a whole new ball game!
HEY!!! That is really cool!
I like it... Well done...

Very cool, I hope you don't mind a small suggestion, next one put the fill hole in the side, it looks like it wood sit on the end very nicely that way.

Yes a wooden one is a bit different and looks good on the firing line. I made one from walnut and brass and regulated it to throw a heavy load for a pair of 1860 colts I had.

Very fine workmanship. It is rewarding to make things that enhance our hobby interests. Even more rewarding when it come out as fine as yours did!
