I Carved this Bison
back in about 1978. I
gave it to a friend who
moved to Alaska after
he got out of the army
and he has kept it all
these years in perfect
condition! It is Carved
from a 16 point non
typical whitetail deer
rack, the same horn
the pipe is cut from
that you see in the
bottom pictures. It was
Carved from the main
shaft just below where
I cut the bowl. I
smoked this tobacco
pipe at black powder
shoots in Friendship
Indiana which
changed the color of
the pipe a bit, but a
different friend had
bought it and had it
displayed for years,
then packed it away in
the attic. I was lucky
enough to buy it back.
But the Bison is
exactly the same color
as when i waxed it.
My initials are cut in
the back the way I did
it way back when, and
this is the first time
these two pieces have
been together for 30
years!
I may make a mold
and cast some of
these in antiqued
silver. If so, they will
be numbered and for
sale on here later.
If you look closely, you
can see the cornea in
his eye! I had
forgotten how real he
looks!
