Meet Tyler,
  This is His first Primitive hatchet and first time doing real sinew.  I met Tyler several years ago and he was real intrested in primitive ways, We sat and I showed him the basics of Knapping. He was like a kid in a candy store and left with some obsidian, tools and a new found intrest.    Then a few months later was diagnosed with Pancreatic cancer. He was told he had maybe 6 months to live.They did a surgery, that the doctors said, very few people even survive. He's had a rough road and at times it's been hard for him and there have been many times when he's  wanted to just give up. 
 I wanted to spot light Tyler because I'm very thankful that he's still here and sharing some of his dreams.  This is one of them, to build a tomahawk for his mom, so here he is just after his first sinew session. He is planning on doing a carving on the handle and giving it to his mom on her birthday in a few weeks.

DanaM:
Glad to hear that Tyler is still with us, sounds like he has a rough road to travel. Hoping he defies the odds and continues with
his pursuit of the primitive skills. Thats a nice looking hawk, hope he gets to carve the handle. I will say a prayer for him Keenan
and give him our best wished eh :)

Keenan:
Thanks Dana, I'll pass it on to him. He doesn't have a computer but I sometimes show him stuff on here and I'm sure He's going to be stoked to see his pic and read your reply.  ;)
