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 documentary copy of an original rifle attributed to George Shroyer. This original is commonly referred to as the "Bowers" rifle and is shown in Rifles of Colonial America (#92), by George Shumway. This rifle is believed to have been made very early in Shroyer's career and contains many stylistic details of a rifle from the 1760's.
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!
