Title: Good trade!
Post by: Stringman on July 23, 2015, 03:29:19 pm

Had a guy ask me to build him a stone knife. I told him it was gonna cost him. So my buddy brought him over to my house the other night and we worked out a deal. He handed me a handful of antler sheds and promised a few hunts on the family farm and I made him a knife. That's what I call a good trade!

Wizard the buttcapp (highly technical term)  ::)  is made from buckeye burl.

Zuma, I'll keep that in mind, if I ever get too many places to hunt.

Beautiful knife blade,  That burl really looks nice.  I think you both got the best end in this deal.
