Copper celt and adze - mound builder style
swamp monkey:
>:D >:D >:D That tree was not suitable for a bow. However, it will be used for something. Cutting it down was simply a test run for the mound builder bow. ;) more to come on that later. . .
don't cry wolf:

swamp monkey:
Life gets busy and that is when I cut time from hobbies. Not the best for recharging one's spirit but necessary at times. I have picked back up with my copper project and am wokring on the last ax/celt. The flared bit is coming along. Below are the four tools I have so far. I have an ash tree marked for bow making. I plan to work it over in spring when the sap is flowing and I can pop the bark off easily.

You do great wok Swampy! When you gonna come west and teach me a thing or two?

I found my Otzi axe copy to be mostly unsuitable for tree chopping due to tiny bit size, how large are yours to be effective?
