  • Today marks the 24th anniversary of 9/11. I pray that this nation does not forget the loss of lives from this horrible event. Yesterday conservative commentator Charlie Kirk was murdered, and I worry about what is to come. Please love one another and your family in these trying times - Spark

Wooden Wednesday - Traditionals only please

Not just wood, but "wood-stag": wood that has been textured to look like stag.

Actually, it looks more like an imitation of bone-stag. I believe they are called "like-raft knives", all three bearing the CAMILLUS four-line mark. Only the worn one on the bottom has the coastguard approved mark on the back of the tang. Thanks for watching! T-A
 
^^^ I agree that it doesn't look like stag. It looks like jigged wood to me, which isn't all that common, so interesting even if it doesn't look like stag ;)

Fifteen or twenty years ago a friend gave me some wood scraps from a xylophone factory where his uncle worked. That's what I used to make the handle for the pruner I forged for my green-thumber wife.

For blade steel I used a tyne from a hay rake. If I ever make another, I will incorporate what I learned from my mistakes! T-A
