My cup runneth over

[DBernier]

I love books. Especially ones on history. I am into the F & I War period but like it all. A short while back, a year ago, I was looking at a new book I had acquired, "The Great Peace" published in Canada. In it among other items was this really neat wooden Voyagers cup. Well I just had to have one. I put it on my to do list for this summer. While surfing the net lo and behold someone had beaten me to it. I purchased it and it was a good copy of the one in the book but with no carving etc. Well I can never leave well enough alone so I carved a sun burst, a sturgeon, a snake and a turtle. I stained it walnut and sealed it. I think it came out nice. I have wood to make two more for friends of mine.  Raise your cup and "here is to us".

Thank you all for the nice comments.    I really like seeing "stuff" you all make for yourself and your friends. If it is OK with the moderators     I think I will start a thread in the "Anything else" section. I'll call it, "Things that I have made". I would hope that all of you would post things that are in your stash that you have made in the past and are making right now. As it is called, "Anything else" would it violate policy to post things such as steel knives, horns, FL pistols, accoutrement's, bags, leather work, neat stuff etc.? I for one enjoy seeing the other "stuff" you guys have made. Lets me steal, oops,    borrow and maybe embellish your idea with permission. I truly believe we, as a whole, are a community of some of the most skilled craftsman in the world and in particular us Abos stuck in reliving the past. Its 5:11AM est right now and my wife and I are going Bass fishing. I'll start a post when we get back if I do not receive any objections from the moderators. Please let us do it folks.      Remember some of the things may not relate "directly" to Archery etc. but should be "consistant" with life and articles we used  in the past. How about it guys. Are you up for it? I want to see what other talents you got. And I know you got them---I've seen them. 

Dick: showoff #1. Just can't leave it alone.

Dick you go right ahead and start a thread, already lots of things posted over there like knives and such.
As a matter of fact I have two knives I'm finishing and then will be posting them.

[Hillbilly]

Awesome work, Dick. And definitely start that thread. Guys, Dick makes some of the most unbelievable stuff, he's quite the talented craftsman to say the least.

[TRACY]

Really great work! I can appreciate the time and effort invested.

I too think it's a Good Idea...and have some things to add to it in the Future also

[DBernier]

OK Guys, I'm back and here we go. I'm gone to "Anything else".
