Whatcha makin' there Trade?

Using the King for a drawknife to make a maul. It's used to pound a froe into billets of straight grained cedar and split out wooden shingles.

Not sure what a froe is but sounds like man's work to me.:thumbup:

Never had it. Guess they don't sell it in Texas. Probably my loss.

Then again, I don't drink much at all any more. But that's way off topic.

its very close to lone star

There is something about processing your own food that not many people get to feel and experience these days, it's a shame really. Being self reliant feels great doesn't it?

First split some very twisty osage orange wood and make some feathersticks for pizza with my 9.

Then I cut the pizza with the 9.

Mmmmmm.....

Finally, use the 9 to cut up a tasty T-bone steak. :thumbup:

I also flatten the bottom of the bowls that I carve with my 9.

This just shows some of the many uses of the 9 and how versatile it is.

Thanks for the great contest!

P.S. If anybody wants to see my carvings, here is my Flickr page.

Osage orange! That's some tough stuff. Impressive!!! If you're ever south of the red river, you can call it Beau d'arc or just a horse apple tree.

Nice pics!

 

[Stark Knives]

Yes, it's pretty much impossible to do anything but split osage orange; feathersticks are impossible.
