Copperhead Cartridge

[Cwalker935]

Thanks to lots of advice from IAP members and in particular Don Ward, I was able to successfully cure and cast my first snakeskin blank. I paired it with a 30 06 cartridge. I did not polish the casing and simply dipped it tarnex to preserve more of a natural look.

Too bad the beautiful creature gave up its life, but I suppose it will "live on" in the pen.
Nice job on the skin and the pen!

We'll done, that snake gave his life for a good cause.

Unfortunately, he took up residence in my wife's tomato plant right beside her favorite lounge chair. He had to go and I am not a snake charmer. At least, l made sure that his passing was not completely in vain.

I have to admit, when I first read the "Headline" I didn't think it would be a good one. But man, you knocked it out of the ballpark...Great job, really turned out nice with the brass
