Endless Curiosity, a conversation with T.C. Albert
Many of you will know TC from his book “Recreating the 18th Century Hunting Pouch”. We’ll be talking about the book and what came before and after, but our conversation is going to start on an Illinois farm in the 70s with a farmboy and the freedom to roam.
Editor’s Note: the horns in the above Gallery were made by Tim Crosby, with engrailing by TC Albert.
