Meet Tyler,
This is His first Primitive hatchet and first time doing real sinew. I met Tyler several years ago and he was real intrested in primitive ways, We sat and I showed him the basics of Knapping. He was like a kid in a candy store and left with some obsidian, tools and a new found intrest. Then a few months later was diagnosed with Pancreatic cancer. He was told he had maybe 6 months to live.They did a surgery, that the doctors said, very few people even survive. He's had a rough road and at times it's been hard for him and there have been many times when he's wanted to just give up.
I wanted to spot light Tyler because I'm very thankful that he's still here and sharing some of his dreams. This is one of them, to build a tomahawk for his mom, so here he is just after his first sinew session. He is planning on doing a carving on the handle and giving it to his mom on her birthday in a few weeks.
