Life is good
Pappy:
Shawn got his billets cut and ready to glue up.I decide to brain tan a hide so got it soaked and rung out 3 or 4 times, so a good start on it. Brats for lunch, if we keep eating them like we have been I may have to make more before the year is out. ??? :-\ I had a good friend come by and wanted me to make him a bow rack out of some turkey legs he had killed this passed year and also put some handles on an old meat fork and butcher knife, not like I got nothing to do but love these kinds of projects and helping out an old friend, so I jumped right on it. :)

Pappy:
rack all done and handles on except for sealing. I think he will like these. :)

Pappy:
I pegged the turkey legs so I could tap and bolt to the board, they are pretty strong when you do them that way, the handles are made from deer leg bones i save through the year. Hope yall had a good one also. :)

Living the dream down there, Pappy! I'd like to try a hide someday. After drying and scraping are they basically rawhide, usable for backings?
