Title: Couple of new ones
Post by: mullet on October 11, 2010, 04:35:27 pm: I took off early from work today and the weather is nice for a change, so I went to the gravel pit and banged these two out. I tried every angle but could not get that knot out of the center of the little Bull Tongue Simpson, so rather than break it, I left it.

Steve, yes, they were mostly mounted on foreshafts, my guess. Most of them were around 3 to 4" long.

Post by: cowboy on October 13, 2010, 10:30:58 pm: I still have my knappin kit out here on the road Eddie but haven't had time to mess with it, guess I need to make up a set of tools for the house. Anyway, just drove through Hixton, WI yesterday and didn't have time to stop and prowl - man, that just goes against the grain :(.
