Roses are red

Hope you all have a wonnerful Valentines Day with someone special.

Today I flipped another tip, picked out a stave for my trade bow, and cleaned a few skulls.  My chipmunk skull didn't survive but the others did.  A roadkill coyote and 2 groundhogs that I removed from work.  Somehow I lost a small tooth from the coyote skull but luckily I have some spare parts so I was able to replace it.  I still need to soak them over night in some soapy water and then they will be ready to whiten.

I started out with nothin' and I still got most of it left

Thanks Osage- Dan had seen a handle a bit back on a knife and musta stewed on the idea. Came over last night all fired up started given'r on Dad's tools. I don't mind kinda like it. He designed, shaped and polished the blade. Mule deer antler handle gonna be nice.
Thanks Leroy

Well, I was actually around the campfire, kinda sorta. Lol!! Broke out the rivet forge and coal and hickory and spent the day makin fire and forging out two  horseshoe knives. Lol!! Also tried making a tomahawk from a railroad spike, but it split while opening the hole for the handle. Poop!!

Now that's a good lookin' pile of arrow shafts.

Worked and slept most of the day.  I went to swap out the card on my trail camera before heading back to work and found the matching anter from the shed I found last week.  This is only the third time I have found a matching set.  He should be a good one next year.

@Bigpapa - those knives are sweet! I like the look. One day i will have time to do stuff like that. I am a working stiff with a honey do list long enough to stretch from here to there.
