Traditional Knives & Slingshots

[Just Tom.]

I was walking in the woods near my home this morning, and after about the 3rd face-full of spider web, I decided to cut a switch to clear my path with. I saw a fallen beech branch which seemed like a likely resource for that, and when I got to it I found this:

Here it is trimmed and cleaned up:

I am trying to decide if I want to strip the bark off it and carve it some, or leave it natural.

Nice find Tom, isn't a small saw a great thing to have with you? Be interested to see what you do with that

This came today. I think it will prove worth the seven or so dollars.

Good reading Jer, definitely worth $7 I have the sequel too. Both are classics I think, but just a little bit out of date

The best price I can find on the sequel is $12!
I'll read the first one first.

They're well worth reading, but I think there's much better information available online

Keeping it pocketable.

That's cool

Have fun Jer

Thanks, I did.
I shoot better out in the woods with no neighbors to cause ricochets.

 

[Crazy Canuck]

Haven't banded it up yet, but looking forward to it. Thanks Jack Black
