Did some whittling today but didn’t get a pic.
Opened some fruit snacks for the boy, he snatched one before I could get a pic.
Merles mighty handy.

After all that city life, ol Merle loves the country. Imagine hunting deer in that!
He likes critters. And my Annie Girl likes him...not as much as a treat.
I’m not amused. I will be getting a treat right dad?

Here’s a neat little boulder a friend gave me as a wedding present. It’s now part of the wife’s flower garden decor.

Thanks. I have had her since she was 5 1/2 weeks old. About 8 years now.

Harvested a few spiral sticks in my trimming of the woods around the house.
I let them dry before debarking normally. But it’s easier to remove captive vine when the vine is green.
The left two are dogwood. The others, cherry. Merle did most of this work, except where the finer tip of my 75 was needed.

Merle was along for the ride when I felled this sugarberry tree.
Saved a slingshot fork too.

Walnut, done with Merle. The larger one has a little more to go obviously.

Merle helped me size and lube some bullets I had made. These are Lee ranchdog 432-265-RF.
Applying gas checks, those on the left are sized.
Lubed and dry, ready to load. Paste wax and alox lube.

A shingle oak sapling. Merle is in there, can you find him?
From a slightly different angle.
I try to figure out the saplings and trees via my book first before using the picture this app. I successfully got the shingle oak when I first came across it. Much more satisfying that way.
