Two Ravens Leather Work by Jack Weeks

Born and raised in a small town in the Northern Illinois farm fields my family escaped annually to the ???North Woods??? of Wisconsin, Minnesota and Canada to hunt and fish. Through these outdoor adventures I gained my earliest skills of observation and love of field biology. Along the way I gathered a B. S. in Zoology and Earth Sciences from Northern Illinois University and a M. S. in Wildlife Biology from Louisiana State University. These in turn led to a 31-year career as a Wildlife Biologist for the Ohio Division of Wildlife, 6 years with Michigan Wildlife Division and another 2 years with the U. S. Department of Agriculture???s Wildlife Services.

Released at long last from the shackles of bureaucracy I???m now free to pursue my interest in United States history and the lifeways of our ancestors. I camp and hunt using historical arms and equipment. I make my own accoutrements. All this has led to my working leather and scrimshawing powder horns in the ???old ways???.

I???m member of The Contemporary Longrifle Association, The National Muzzelloading Rifle Association and The National Coalition of Historical Trekkers.

My wife p.t. and I live south of Luzerne, Michigan in the Huron National Forest, out in the woods??_the place I truly belong.
