Very nice Dana.  I've got to learn how to use dye like you guys.  I've got work to do in that category but you've got her mastered.

Sidewinder as Gordon said it steams pretty good but does not bend real great with dry heat although it did respond nicely to belly toasting.

Thanks Jimmy, as for the dye job I'm certainly no master, I just used ox blood red fieblings on the tips, dark brown on the rest and then dabbed some
black on with a feather, after it was dry hit it lightly with 220 grit and sealed, Be safe over in Afghanistan eh.

My turn to say great job, Dana. The snow, however, yuck. I hate that stuff more than Brussel spouts.

Rick showed me a vine maple he made, at the last New Engand primitive gathering, and it was a beautiful weapon. That is the only experience I have had with vine maple.

My only criticism, and this is just me, but I wish you had left the wood natural. But red works too :) Humans have been using red for decoration since the dawn of humanity, after all. It is a power color, and strong magic, some would say.
