Hershel House spent his life in Woodbury, Kentucky — building rifles, forging knives, and keeping the crafts of the American frontier alive. The Hershel House Woodbury School Foundation carries that forward, teaching the next generation of builders the same hand skills that defined his life.

A smooth bore gun signed by Claude Niquet of Liege, Belgium. This gun combines both fowling piece and typical rifle characteristics. Details suggest this was built in the 1730's or 1740's. Of particular note is the similarity in stocking to the "Brass Barreled Rifle".
Outstanding quality and wonderful carving! I have carved many rifles myself in the past but after the loss of most of my carving tools in a fire I sat this one out and let Jim do the carving by CNC. I am glad I did as its beautiful! I just completed the rifle early this week and its stunning! Thank you Jim and all of you!
