Can you tell me about the red knife? Thanks
Yessir, trying everything sums it up. I still have some chunks of my old jonathon apple tree, but it’s mostly gone. I have to import hickory and mesquite, both of which I like, but mostly use wood I cut here ~ maple, ash, and birch.

Great selection for that job my friend , but I do not see why Your Nanc would object to having that Mask hung up so everybody could see it .Cleaning out my folks home as we moved them to assisted living a few months back. They had bought this hand carved mask 55+ yrs ago. The eye's and teeth are supposedly Ivory. as a mischievous child I removed a couple of his front teeth
I'm pretty sure he had never been dusted/cleaned the entire time he hung in our house. I spent quite a bit of time using assorted brushes, warm water and compressed air to restore his fierce appearance and had Lyle's famers jack help in the process.
We are trying to divvy up what's sentimental among family and friends and what an emotional journey it isI happen to love this guy, yet my wife wants him no where in our home

I was thinking he might want to hang it up in his store. Over the cash register to discourage bounced checks.Great selection for that job my friend , but I do not see why Your Nanc would object to having that Mask hung up so everybody could see it .

I think you may be correct about that Jeff . He does have some pretty nice Stuff in his store . I think he needs to put some Teeth back in that right hand upper Whatever's mouth first though .I was thinking he might want to hang it up in his store.
