Geez lostarrow, that art of yours is, well,  (A).

I just started experimenting with cutting shell. A friend of mine gave me a jeweler's saw for it. How do you get such unbelievable detail? Do you use a dremmel with diamond bits? If so, do you hold it like a pen? Please excuse my ignorance  :D

When Jay Massey asked Gilman Keasey about the noise created by a mother of pearl arrow pass Keasey smiled knowingly and said  "nothing will cover up a bad release".

Just the fact that Jay asked him that should tell us all we need to know. Gotta' hunt and KILL to know what works and what doesn't. Others opinions only take you so far.

I just used a couple pieces of leather, nice dark chocolate color for the pass and a light tan piece of elk for the rest.  Can't hear any (noise), any way, so they must work, eh! >:D
