Pappy, the fire looks nice and warm and all your projects seem to be coming along nicely, I have one of the single bit Collins axes and is one of my favorites, pretty cold here but not a lot of snow yet 4" maybe. I have been changing up some of braintanning stuff, getting all my salted hides out and grained,rinsed, acidfy, membrained and the let go completely dry. If warm weather returns in spring should be ready to just brain and break and smoke. Maybe try a couple this winter with woodstove heat and fans to help dry while breaking. Did it get cold enough for ya to try the Muskrat hand muff? Later Bob
