Morgans Raiders

Cheer, boys, cheer! We'll march away to battle!
Cheer, boys, cheer, for our sweethearts and our wives!
Cheer, boys, cheer! We'll nobly do our duty,
And give to the South our hearts, our arms, our lives.

Bring forth the flag, our country's noble standard;
Wave it on high till the wind shakes each fold out.
Proudly it floats, nobly waving in the vanguard;
Then cheer, boys, cheer! with a lusty, long, bold shout.


But as we march, with heads all lowly bending,
Let us implore a blessing from on high.
Our cause is just, the right we're defending,
And the God of battle will listen to our cry.


Tho' to the homes we never may return,
Ne'er press again our lov'd ones in our arms,
O'er our lone graves their faithful hearts will mourn,
Then cheer, boys, cheer! such death hath no alarms.

Lots of figuring in this log. This is called fiddleback figuring. I've herd islanders call it tiger grain. Were finally getting the ability to cut this stuff the right way. I would like to be cutting the figured parts of each log into small cants.....then they can be run through the ban saw and cut into 3/16 boards that all have the figure.....from there they get glued up in a variety of different ways and made into tops and panels. This way I can stretch the most figured pieces of wood into many projects. It's taken a long time to convince my partner of this but last night I saw the light bulb pop on in him......were finally on the same page with this and moving foward

This is a great example of lead hull sheathing. This is a patch piece to repair the lead sheathing on the hull of a lead sheathed sailing vessel. Found it yesterday at the wrecker camp spot. The wreckers would unload and store/steal cargo here. They also used this spot to break and strip parts of wrecked ships. They would strip them of metals here.

nice size patch for my shipwreck artifact collection.

I made about ten or so cuts to my hand, knapping this thing. My abrader stone and hand pad are now soaked with my "life juice".

 

[RustyRelics]

Could you imagine how loud this thing was?

Notice the general in the cowboy looking hat, behind the cannon. Don't he look like Sam Elliot portraying Buford in Gettysburg?

 

[Blak bart]

I wanna fire that thing.....booooom!!
