Walked in the same woods over and over for years but this time took a walk where I knew there surly wasnt any shrooms, and sure enough. WHAMMO.

Me jealous.
I went out to my morel woods today & didn't find a one dangit.
I think it's too early up there in the mountains,I usually find 'em in late May/early June.
The good news is the snow is all gone & my camp site hadn't been messed up by the hunters last fall.
 
As I mentioned above..I hit the mountains in search of the sometimes elusive Morel Mushroom.
Unfortunately the Morellies weren't out yet or have all been picked already, but I did get to play with my Belt Hawk a little.

I Chopped a log...

And made some fatwood curlies.

Wow, Myke, great work as always, I knew it went to the right home! generous nothing, i just didn't want to ruin it by trying to mod it like I said :)

here's what Myke gave me in return FYI, another example of his skill
 
Cool stuff. I didn't think to do any mushroom hunting while I was home. Karen and I did get our limits of trout and we paddled around 10 miles on Drift Creek one day. Now I'm tired and need to get back to work so I can rest.

Thanks. I hope it will be a huge seller. Everyone needs a knife like it. It's kinda like a Sharpfinger. Once you hold it you wonder why you weren't born with one.

Thanks Jeff.

I still need to do one in real antler.
I've seen a few done in antler & they really look amazing vs anything done in wood.
 
'bows for suppa time! nice! great pics Mack. glad you had a good day off.
 
Karen filled those 'bows with the herbs she's been growing, some spices and garlic herb butter. They were unbelievably good. I can't imagine a five star restaurant doing better.
 
Finally decided on a Victorinox Recruit for the knife to put the ivory micarta on to match my Iris. It has the tools I use, nothing extra. Went on Amazon, they had them for $14.80 plus shipping, so I held off. Went to my oldest daughter`s house near Kankakee yesterday, stopped at Farm & Fleet, they had them for $13.49, so I picked one up. When I order micarta next month I will buy the scale material.
