    What Are You Smoking Pages.

    I didn’t catch where you were from….

    Nebraska born and Kansas bred; I love the prairie. "Lived here all your life?" "Not yet!"

    My honest-to-God-I-promise last Peterson

    "A Hunter's Fireside Book" by Gene Hill, which I see on your bookshelf, is the perfect companion to that new pipe you have acquired. Enjoy!" Yes; that book carries an interesting story in its own right (to me at least).

    What Are You Smoking Pages.

    My Pete Squire this week with EGR at the trap range; shot poorly but at least the tobacco was good :cry: And my Lestrade yesterday whilst tossing a few flies at a favorite bass hideout; Figgy Pudding therein...

    My honest-to-God-I-promise last Peterson

    My first knife project

    Thanks Mike! No, I haven't done another. I did do a hatchet which I think I posted on here before; the head was in a box of stuff my sister-in-law gave me when my brother-in-law passed and I had it for quite a while before I came up with an idea of what to do. Found this chunk of wood on a...

    Question from another forum

    This question was asked on a shotgun forum I frequent. I'd always supposed they were "seconds" but certainly don't know. Any input? "I have a Parker and I just got a Hardcastle, both pipes were made after Dunhill took over the 2 companies. The parker is kind of plain, but a good smoker. The...
