Off the Browning Reservation

[wolf creek knives]

I've got a neighbor who has property on the Browning Reservation here in Montana. Recently they told me they were going to rebuild their barn that had been on site for a very long time. So I asked her for some wood to make a pen for her and her husband. This was the outcome. I think it's pine but I'm not sure. I stabilized it with CJ and turned it very slowly. I think it turned out pretty nice and I'm looking forward to giving them to them.

Photo 1 is an Oxford 10mm Roller Ball that I picked up from PSI. Photo 2 is a Designer Serious that I again purchased from PSI.

Thanks for looking

Looks a lot like cottonwood. Lots of them up your way

Not sure if indians wood build barns out of cottonwood. It's more of a sacred tree. But if it's plentiful up there, could be. Those look very nice Tom.

Nice pair of pens Tom. Your neighbor will be pleased with them.

Very nice looking pens. I'm not sure what kind of wood that is but I doubt it's pine. In any case it's a great looking wood. I'm certain that they will be enjoyed.

Very nice. I love historical wood.

This caught my eye because I saw "Browning" and "Montana". I've had the chance to visit that Blackfeet reservation on a few occasions- once during a regional PowWow. The flatlands there are beautiful. Thanks for sharing!
