Orrum:
Hey thanks Steve!!! It was a really fun filled day!! The lil guy loved you and your hrlp. Thsnks for making his bow string. He shot it some the next morning, he can't really pull it yet but practice will teach him finger position!!!
JoJoDapyro:
What is that stone that the little guy has?
Orrum:
The lil primitive archer has a Wonderstone tomahawk that he knapped. Seriously Eddie said we could knap any ty hinges laying around. He threw two pieces of it over to me to try, he said he couldn't get it to work. I beat one piece to death and got nothing but trash debitage! Nathaniel picked up the thine piece and wanted to hit it so I gave him a 1.25 inch copper billet and let him have at it. The chips flew and he learned to hit it close to the edge. I clubbed a piece off every now and then and it turned into a pretty fair hawk#!! It has a stub that sticks out that would be perfect to seat into a handle!
Zuma:

Eddie is a generous and interesting fellow ;)
