A museum night
iowabow:
A night of knapping and choppin, Les Lerner, Mark Boswell, Dave Parker, and I did a Museum knapping demo last night at the Des Moines County Historical Museum. Les runs the Skunk Rive knappin and Mark is known for his stone axe demos, and Dave is an amazing modern knapper. We have plans to do this annually if anyone wants to join.
Stringman:
That's a fun event!
mullet:
Looks like a cool night and neat stuff.

On the far edge of the image.
A certain display....
And THAT is why you posted about this event. Still bragging on that amazing display, ain'tcha? LOL!
That's a pair of nasty ooga-booga axes, too! Take a Paul Bunyun caveman to swing that one on the right for very long! I suppose the extra heft out on the working end adds weight to the swing as well as beefs up the wood to reduce likelihood that the axe head would split the handle out.

That axe chops very well and can cut through a log in about 20 mins.
