Knife stand made, curly maple , antler and deer toe for the stop, more stave work and then the second snow came, a little more than the first and with it Zero temps. :) made working in my outside shop a challenge but I got by, after staying out in it for several hours it don't feel that bad. :)

I went into the protection mode trying to keep pipes from freezing and fish tank from freezing solid, my plan worked pretty good, heat lamps and small heaters spread here and there worked pretty good, it stayed single digit for 2 days and then not out of the teens for a couple more, not what we are use to in the south. :)

In between working on staves I decided to make up some more jerky, I always make up my own mix according to my taste, turned out good, I like muscle jerky better but this shooter jerky ant bad and much easier to make. I done 7 lbs and got a little over 3lbs once dried. :)

Got 9 Osage staves ready to make bows and 5 hickory, we have a few more to do but getting close to what we wanted to have ready for the classic. :) Got my knife and stand finished along with a sheath made, also worked up about 30 Turkey wings that was gifted to me in the fall, been putting it off and decided it was time to get them worked up. Also started another neck knife, Man can't have to many knives and I really enjoy making them. :)
