You ever do one of those and leave a round ball of wood in it as if it were caged in the wood?

Since my guy lives a little North of me,I know it gets cold there,So I made a pair of Rabbit skin mittens. These are some of my rabbits I butchered last year, Also I figured everybody needs a squirrel cooker,this one is just the right size for a backpack. It finally got sort of cool so I could fire up the forge!  Hope you like them Mr Whatshisname  ;D

I've got all the stuff together for my knife including some leather for a sheath and some beautiful scales sent to me by NeolithicMan. I've decided that I'm not quite happy with the taper, and it could use a heat treating. Right now I'm trying to put together a charcoal forge to heat it in.

That's part of it Bruce, but I need to anneal it so I can drill the holes and do a bit more stock removal. Then I'll harden and temper it. That means I need to heat it to critical temp ( about 1500 degrees ) a few times and that's where the forge comes in. I want make it the best I possibly can, so I'm learning all I can.
