 If you have to pull the trigger, is it really archery?

jreb, you need to post it as an attachment instead of clicking and dragging it. If you look at the lower left of the reply window, outside the lower left corner of the box you type the text in, there is a link that says "Additional Options." Click on that and it will open a box that lets you browse to the pic on your computer and attach it to the post. Also, the image needs to be less than 200 kb file size and no more than 640x480 in actual size.

Progress might have been all right once but it's gone on for far too long.

This was more of a personal gift from Blacktail to Dave and I at the rondevzouse. John walked up and gave these two blades to us  to fight over.  >:D  His talent on them big blades is very impressive. I'll post some close ups and details later. ;)

Will keep my eyes out for the next trade. I hate I missed this one.

Steve (Hillbilly?) I got yours done and will get it in the mail on Monday. Been busy but I think you will like it. Was making a mammoth butcher blade but ran into a flaw in the rock (ie: fold in the obsidian layers) Broke into three large peices and was able to get a mini-mammoth blade out of it. Think your going to get a kick out of it! Be careful with the edges. I used Billy's sharpening technique :

Steve Allelley taught both of us at the same time how to do this a number of years ago at Glass Buttes, OR. Man it get them SHARP!!!
