I just read that Stephen Shepherd (fullchisel.com) passed on the Owyhee Mountain Fiddle Shop blog:
http://owyheemountainfiddleshop.blogspot...tuary.html
I never met him, but had many online conversations with him over the years. I think he knew more about 1800's living probably than people who lived in the 1800's.

Certainly a unique individual who lived life on his terms. We’d all be better off if we followed his example even just a little bit.
God speed Stephen Shepherd.

He was a giant in the craft. His books are without question my most referenced materials.

It took me a while to remember who Stephen Shepherd was I'm afraid to say. I do have his book on hide glue and can report it will teach you more on the topic than you probably wish to know.
RIP Mr. Shepherd.

Wow, Badger Pond ... I believe that is where I first read Mr. Stephens ...
Also read all of his articles in the Alburnum Archives.
I've learned a wealth of information from him.
RIP Mr. Stephens.
