Plains Indian Gun Barrel Flute

This item is made from a 45-70 Springfield barrel. A salveged item the plains Indians made.

Parfleche Bag

This is painted with a Cheyenne style made from elk rawhide ans antelope tanned hide. Ive always avoided blue paint in the past but I'm starting to like it more.

Obsidian Napped Knife

Here is a blade I didn't knap but I attached the brain tan and beaded myself. This is an old style of knife that would have been used .

Willow Basket

This basket stands over 20 inches tall and made entirely of red river willow. I have a patch of willow I've been hacking on for 30 years. But this is my first willow basket. I plan to make a buffalo hide incised burden strap to finish it with.  Ten hours and sore fingers later I have a huge basket... If weather permits I plan to make another...

Belly Trimmed Grizzly Claws

Here are my replica claws I belly trimmed,  this is an old style claw technique that the Plains Indian used. I've seen many necklaces with trimmed claws I always thought they looked fierce !!
