 Aloha guys.
Yesterday i smacked some rocks and broke my 1st attempt. Gave it another go today and turned out this little 4 inch dove from a cool piece of hornystone.

That's slick Jesse! Kinda like riding a bicycle, but if ya don't use you'll deffinantly loose it I've noticed.
When you come upon a track or trail you do not know, follow it to the point of knowing.
