Hi Trad Gang friends.   :)  

Sorry for being absent so long. No excuse really other than busy with other things.

I haven't been shooting my bows much in the past year or 2 due to a recurring shoulder problem, not archery related, but it affects my ability to draw my bows. So I have been playing with the rifles more, and that's not kosher here, thus part of my reason for absence.


Not building as many knives lately either, but here are a few that I did in the last several months.

67# osage selfbow
62# "Zang Hill" string follow

Also working on my engraving......this on a rifle action I built from scratch.








Anyway, apologies for being away so long, will try to check in more often.

Cheers,

I'm glad to see you're still pursuing your skills. I'm loving that gun action.

Nice knives. I like that folder especially but they're all really nice.

Glad to see some of your stuff again sir. All the knives are very, very nice and your engraving on that action is amazing. Thanks for posting your work.

Nice work as always, I really like that 2nd one in the lineup, but like Lin says, they're all nice.

Shoot your guns if you like, just keep those blades coming. Thanks for sharing.

That's what I was going to say.
When the last deer disappears into the morning mist,
When the last elk vanishes from the hills,
When the last buffalo falls on the plains,
I will hunt mice for I am a hunter and I must have my freedom.
