I've seen a few great examples, but I was hoping to get some more photos or stories of everyone's most bad-ass Becker bushcraft projects: deadfalls, log cabins, Flinstones cars, etc.

i want to see this flintstone car!!!!
havent owned my becker knives long, the only bushcraft thing i have done with a becker is make a fire bow drill, a small lean-to and cut some firewood.
With my bk11 i made a party platter for one of my wifes work meetings. cardboard floor with wax paper on top, toothpicks for support on trees and fencing. then there was a log cabin made of carrots and broccoli. it had a swimming pool on the side of ranch dressing. broccoli tops as trees and a cellery pickett fence. it was about 10x12" and 8" high. with 2 interior rooms, each was full of olives. I was told it was the coolest party platter ever and her boss asked me to make another for there xmas party! this time ill take alot of pictures

Nearly got it then. Your dust is getting displaced from the hole and cooling. Cut a V notch from the edge of the wood into that hole. Your dust will accrue into a coal there.Bow drill set built with my BK16. Haven't made a coal with it yet but got a ton of smoke...

Almost perfect. Looks like the hole is just a little too far in though. Should be just a little bit closer to the edge, and cut the notch to give the dust/embers a place to gather. You'll want them to gather on something other than a leather glove though.
A piece of bark, another plank, etc..

It isn't too cool, but pretty useful... I whittled this fishing float (read bobber, but not the BH#245 one 
) with my 14 once on a day hike. The cool part is that you can wrap the line you find near a fishing hole around it, as I did with this one.
Ok, OK...
Here's the shelter I spent two nights in last year for the August challenge... not a log cabin per se, but it did the trick!

I've done a few things in ethan's contests that I never would have done if there weren't a possible free knife on the line. I carved trap triggers and snares, Made a fork with a BK9 an Atlatl an some camp furniture.
