Getting ready for the storm. Not sure what we will get but it sounds like it’s going to be nasty.
Got a few projects done. My brother asked if I could make a step that was 4” high 15” long and 12” wide for his wife’s physical therapy.
I put a little hand hole in top to get ahold of it. It’s band sawed ash and I didn’t plane it. Just cleaned it up a little with hand belt sander so it still had some traction. It was just stuff I had laying around and it looked a little plain. I decided to touch it up a little with wood stain and my airbrush.
Sure hope it works for her

Also finished the point I put down the other day. It’s a nice sized spear point and I halved it to a cholla with pine pitch and sinew. Put a button off some exotic wood scraps I was gifted. I drilled a very small hole in the button and put artificial sinew loop end through the hole. Then I wiggled the end out the cholla holes and tide a knot that was too big to go through the hole I drilled. I just hang it for display. I think it turned out great. Much nicer than using an eye bolt too.

Nice ! (=) Bob.
bjrogg:
Thanks Bob. Hope you survived the storm alright. I think we had more snow before the storm. We got about three inches of slush. What a mess. Muddy ground underneath. Really wish it would’ve froze up first. Now it’s supposed to really get cold.
Took a picture by shop yesterday. Before the storm. It’s still dark here yet and electricity is out. I hooked up the generator.

I’ve been on a roll knapping lately so I’m taking advantage of it. Obsidian blade, cholla handle. Halft with pitch glue and white tail leg sinew.
Base is reclaimed black walnut from a pallet. I cut a grove in the base of a shed antler and lined it with scrap red fox leg fur.
Not a bad way to ride the storm out
