iowabow:
I just read a very good paper on the pitfire. I will post a link later in the week when i find it again
iowabow:
I cant build a fire so this project is on hold till the grass turns green. I is scary dry here.
seider:
sounds like down here in Texas last year. we have been lucky to get alittle bit of rain this year but not enough to lift water restrictions. you have got this and napping down to a art. pure talent
iowabow:
I picked up about 20 # of shell so i can ramp up production. I also got the promission from the landowner next to the creek to do a clay haul. So i am thinking 100# of clay for the first run.
JW_Halverson:
Nice shell haul. I can't wait to see some pots coming outa the fire, John!
Now take one of the larger shells, rough the interior up with coarse grit sandpaper, burn the tip of a broken cedar arrow shaft, and use it like a striker on a slate turkey call. Those freshwater mussels make pretty good slates for Ol' Tom Gobbler.
