Got my big hide off the rack, I soak it in warm water to get it soft before putting it in the brains to tan, seems to work out quicker and better that way, also got the bear head skin all oiled down and softened. :) Got a hat pattern on the way so we will see how that goes. :-\

Done 4 deer feet while I was tanning the bear skin. Got the tapper done on my new blade and also started putting the handle together, it is bear leg bone and cow horn top and bottom. :)

Got the blade done and heat treated and tempered, also got the handle ready to glue up, then decided to make some bear stew for supper, love that bear meat. :)

Got the bear stew ready for supper, then a friend that neighbors my farm came over with 4 deer, maybe that's why I ant seeing any ??? :-\ like I said tough this time of year with a BOW, not so tough with a 30.6 ;) :) :) I told him he was killing off the breeding stock then jumped in and help take care of them, ;) he is a good friend and good neighbor but I do like to rib him a bit from time to time. :)
