This morning was made for porch sitting. Soft and clear.
Exellent for carving and nit- picky hafting. To bad the moose

Heck, you could take a moose down with that one....very nice, like the colors in the handle also.
There are no bad knappers, only bad flakes

Thanks never seems to be enough. A check would be nice but I am not developed enough to write you all one. So thanks, from down deep.
I took a apple tree branch and dried it a couple years. Picked a place where the knots would be at the haft and the butt.
Here is a better pic

Very nice, I thought it was leg bone of some type for the handle. :)

Thanks you all.
Pappy, It could pass for bone as I made it non symmetrical.
If it was ash or hickory! To much color in the apple.

    Very nice work. Multi-talented for sure. I also liked your carvings. The gouge marks gave me some indication of size. Carving in the round is a bear on large pieces due to checking but you handled it nicely. Most all of my carvings are small now as I don't seem to have time. I do like to embellish my forged knives and such and I just finished a Kuksa that I took to the Classic. The music a person listens to, the tv shows he watches and the workshop he keeps says a lot about a person. Much more than some believe. I'd rather be making SOMETHING in my shop than anything else I can think of. Nobody admires a craftsman more than another craftsman. This is why so many of us make our own bows. We could buy it but it wouldn't be the same. Your articles are always interesting. If ever I can figure out how to send in pics then I might show a few things I make.
