deer?no. elk?no. got salmon!
« on: October 20, 2009, 03:01:40 pm »
First of all I am so psyched to read of all the hunting success- congrats to everyone. no luck for me on the critters yet this year, but there's always wet season (a.k.a. late season in SW WA).
I have been after this salmon for months now, daring to take a few flakes per day, usually. It's riley dacite from out near glass buttes- glassy, elastic, not tough- a waxy dull grey obsidian.
my tools are around it- an ishi stick made from a broken mullberry bow, with deer leg bone tip (from an obsidian-killed deer). medium moose billet, large elk billet, carborundum abrader, copper punch, and ironwood/moose small billet.

     Well, Aaron, it must be nice to be advanced enough to get bored with points, blades, axes, and such, to start making fish!  Ok, now lets see you make a fish with the fly in it's mouth! ;D  Good job. ;)
