Case XX 6254 SS

Post by Jeffinn »

I took a look in the bone box and found a pair of amber bone slabs in winter bottom jigging pattern. Did the usual cleanup then re-assembled as usual. It turned out pretty good;

That Culpepper Winterbottom is some nice stuff. I rehandled a moose with it and I love it! Your trapper looks great.
