how bout showing yr carving skills
Eric Krewson:
When I get burned out on bow or gun building I go to my hobby lathe and make file handles, very restful and therapeutic. One can make two handle ferrules out of one 1/2" copper pipe joint. I use what ever scrap wood I have in my burn pile.
Lee Slikkers:
I really like those Eric! I have a bunch of files, some broken handled, some with cheap plastic handles and some with none...looks like after I get this move/relocation thing taken care of I need to find me a small lathe.
Eric Krewson:
I have a small Griz lathe, fun to play with. I have turned a lot of osage plugs to fill punky knot holes on osage bows with it.
Lee Slikkers:
Thanks for the pic and recommendation of the Grizz, I'll have to do some poking around on the net or start watching Craig's L for a deal.
