Title: something...well...odd?
Post by: iowabow on March 13, 2012, 06:18:38 pm

I was making a nice point and when I was in the middle the platform collapsed and it made a notch in the middle of the point so I rolled with it.

That would look good on an antler handle as a knife.

Nice save.  I had that happen on one last weekend.  Knocked a perfect circle out of one side...well about 300 degrees of one.  I'm not as innovative.  Mine is sitting in the pile of points I've given up one temporarily.  I'll take another look at it now.  Thanks.

Do you use dry heat or steam to do that twist... ;)
