coral hook
« on: February 24, 2019, 09:19:08 pm »
I spent a couple hours waiting around today and made this hook from a coral flake while doing so.
My wife says I can't do two things at once, but I think I did today )F(

Sweet! I like trying to make hooks. I usually get one out of three.

 If you have to pull the trigger, is it really archery?

Thanks
when I break one it is usually right where I start hollowing the inside out and barely have the tip established. The shank will snap off about level with the tip.
every now and then a flake right close to the tip will do a magic trick and make the tip disappear

That's a beauty.
Waiting around AND making the hook?  You wizard you... ;)
