Great weekend, lots of shop time and some hunting thrown in, no deer but did see a few for a change, it's over now till next year, ended today. I have a couple more large knifes in the works, 2 big files before and after softening. Also decide to put a deer toe knuckle bone cap on my last neck knife, turned out pretty cool. I have been working on some hickory staves for the Classic, some had a lot of problems, 1 I just couldn't get the back like I wanted so I decided to just make it for myself, R&D rawhide backed. ;)

Got my hickory on the form/2 blades roughed out and started some stands for my last 2 knives. Dog Wood burl and old barn wood, deer antlers and deer toe stop. :)

Neck knife finished with stand, Got the handle fitted for my big Bowie then took some time to work on the wood pile, it's looking very sad so we hauled a load or 2 and will need a lot more before the Classic.
Pappy:
Started putting the rawhide on the back of my hickory, I usually wrap it for about and hour till glue sets, TB3, then take the wrap off and work out any problems, lucky with this one, no problems at all, laid down nice and smooth with no air bubbles. Still got a few deer coming in, just not mine. ??? ;) :) :)

Rawhide backed hickory trimmed and ready to dry a few days before tips and tillering.Shawn working on a HHB limb bow, it is looking very good. After a lot of not so good splices I am getting much better at cutting them, I guess practice make prefect as they say. :-\ ;) Got the handle on my Bowie tapered/heat treated and tempered and handle glued up, deer leg bone. :)
