Copper Wire
« on: April 22, 2012, 08:21:51 pm »
I have some cold rolled copper power line wire. It just fits through an 11/64" hole (so a little less than 3'16"). I have cut into 10" pieces. 6 pieces for a trade.
The only thing I really NEED is some pine pitch (processed or raw) to mount knapped points with. I can also use more knappables.
Bowmakers are a little bent, but knappers are just plain flaky.

I'll take some, Bevan.  I've got some pitch I've melted down, cleaned and rolled into small pellets and I've got a little bit of raw pitch.

Hey Bevan, bring a piece down when you come in July.  You can have anything you want in the shop in trade...within reason. >:D

Tell you what, Bevan, save that stuff for the knappers out there.  I just wanted it for pins, and I can use the soft hardware store stuff for that.

Within reason?  Any piece of that wire is worth his whole shed of worthless corkscrewed fencepost rejects!   >:D

But I hear his wife makes good biscuits and gravy!

I keep my bow wood outside I'll have you know.  That way I get the maximum weather induced bends.  If you'd come down for last weekend's festivities you could  have had biscuits and gravy down outside, the biscuits in a dutch oven and the sausage gravy over a camp stove.  Not quite up to my wife's standards, but edible.
