Buckshot's first pig-sticker

(1/2) > >>

half eye:
Wanted to share this one for buckshot (aka Tyler) we just posted his first bow and then we decided he ought to have a pig-sticker too.

He reground the blade, made the antler grip, set the blade with spruce pitch, and sewed the saddle leather sheath (awl and needle) we then greased up the sheath with mink oil and worked a cased Ermine over it. The tiedown he cut from buckskin and wove it through the Ermine's eye holes, finished it off with pony beads and some bobcat and turkey claws.

Thought he did a real nice job and wanted to share, his bow draws 62# and ya can see he's good size young man......now workin on his first self bow, then on to a stave.
