The butcher didn't  have what I needed for part 1 of my gift, so that will have to wait.
Part 2's material is ready to go :)

A meatloaf is a mighty fine gift, but I'm not sure how well it will ship....

Meatloaf is awesome mmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Thanks Leroy

Got some leather cut up, looking pretty good. Have some clean up to do on it, but I'll have pictures up tomorrow after work.

i have the stone for the head of the war hammer and the stick to become the handle, my next step is to carve a groove in the granite. If any of you have tips on that i would love to hear them. should be getting some rawhide by the end of the month. I should have this project near finished by send date. I will be posting pics soon.

Took the words out of my mouth.  I did some granite quartzite floors and that was how I made all my cuts.  Go slow and let the grinder grind ;D

Some leather cut-outs:


Still have some edge clean up to do, gotta cut the longer strap piece a bit thinner as well. Then it is lots of hole punching, dying and stitching.

Got started on my project today,  flattened the back of an ash stave and narrowed it to 2 5/8" . Sealed it with paint cuz i couldn't find my can of shellac, and strapping it to a board To dry for about 5 weeks.

I'm seriously contemplating sending out a breech-clout.  Everyone deserves to feel the freedom to move as they please, unencumbered by heavy textile around their legs yet enjoying having the essentials guarded with soft linen or, better yet, buckskin.
