That's nice work on that knife, and cool quiver.    Never eaten squirrel, they are too well liked over here

Pretty good use for a squirrel skin. Awesome knife too. What's the handle made of?

[Zuma]

Thanks BJ
I like to mix it in with some cottontail.

Ruddy,
I should send you my copy of "How to poach the Queen's animals"
Err written by an Irishman.

Gutshot, It is why I did that knife.
First attempt with Redbud. I was amazed that
the blade survived as long and thin as it is.
It's not pretty but I am sure it is tough as nails.
I need to do a handle with less sap wood.

Zuma I would disagree. I think the sap wood really sets it off.  I cut a red bud just a few weeks ago. Can't wait to make a bow with it. And now a knife handle too. Thanks for sharing!

[Ruddy Darter]

I have to agre with Gutshot, the sapwood looks great on the handle.

(kind of you to offer dear chap, but best not send me a copy of that book Zuma, I could possibly loose my lands and title, and there would be no more tea and small talk with Her Majesty.  )

  ;)Yeah I guess it would be like bashin your own crumpets.
Do you folks have Red Bud trees?
Zuma

[Ruddy Darter]

 , just been looking it up, I think you can buy them for ornamentals and bonsai, maybe wouldn't do too well in the North of the U.K. ( ?) I see on the forum it can make a good bow.
