Changed my last knife to this

feeds@yuku.com (wisconsinwalter) — Fri, 03 Jul 2009 18:50:29 GMT

From all of the great suggestions.

I took the Ivory corian and made this handle to fit my hand and I like it. I probably would not have taken the time to think if it wasnt from all the great support here

from this

to this

I still have to cover the blade, dang it!

A bow that is spooking me and a couple of pics that were fun bowyering...

feeds@yuku.com (CarvedTones) — Fri, 03 Jul 2009 18:35:02 GMT

This first one is pecan, about 48" and fairly light (for one of my 9 year olds).

I think I am in danger of hinging (or just plain snapping) on the handle side of both mids. Upper is worse. This bow is spooking me in general. The wood just doesn't seem bendy, if that makes any sense.

But the hackberry is way bendy. This next one is something that was scrap...

Two Fun Summer Shoots in the Mountains of California

feeds@yuku.com (toxophileken) — Fri, 03 Jul 2009 16:27:33 GMT

Here's a link to the Grgas's web site, with a calendar of events. Two fun shoots are coming up. One is up near Mammoth at the end of the month (July 25-26), put on by the Eastern Sierra Bowmen. Big John told me last year he wouldn't be setting up the targets anymore... Might mean the shoot gets cancelled, might mean the shots are less interesting... Who knows? I'll update if I get any info. Barbara and I may go, as we got engaged after this shoot last year...

Illustrated fire piston plans.

feeds@yuku.com (RedEagle JR) — Fri, 03 Jul 2009 16:09:49 GMT

I have not see these plans listed on here, hopefully no one has posted this before. I found these today and thought that this was a very good illustrated design that would help lots of people out with their first builds. If they have been posted before then I apologize.

Where's an easy place to post photos of points?

feeds@yuku.com (Harvey) — Fri, 03 Jul 2009 14:59:52 GMT

PaleoPlanet doesn't make it simple, apparently. I subscribe to some auto forums and it's simple to post pics on those.

not everybody starts like manny; some pics of an early bow of mine

feeds@yuku.com (dutchwarbow) — Fri, 03 Jul 2009 12:29:16 GMT
I made this one 4 years ago... at age of 12. Draws 60#@29" , but designed for 27"... I believe

It started as an Cherokee D-bow replica, but I didn't really like the wide grip, so I rasped it down. A few strokes with my sandpaper, then I glued an ugly floppy rest on it, as I still dealt with cutting fletches (not anymore, luckily!) I wrapped some ugly cord around it later... why? I don't know. Not much...

"Basidian" Paleo

feeds@yuku.com (pblepmp) — Fri, 03 Jul 2009 11:57:41 GMT
Had some time to knap a bit to fill some orders and made a few of these.

Made of "basidian", banded basalt and gray obsidian from northern Arizona.
Beautiful, unique material. This one is 4 3/4" long.
I'm posting several of these for sale on Flintknappers.com in a few days if anyone is interested.
Plus several other paleos out of other materials.

Old topic about herbal smoking mixes?

feeds@yuku.com (TimmyReed) — Fri, 03 Jul 2009 11:25:31 GMT
Im looking for an older thread that linked to a document about a lot of wild plants of entheogenic nature. The thread had a document linking to some publication that a professor had published and it was in document form. Anyone else remember this? Ive tried using the search function but I just cant find it. Any help would be appreciated.

My latest effort

feeds@yuku.com (CharlieMike) — Fri, 03 Jul 2009 10:54:27 GMT
A buddy of mine wanted me to make him a bowie for his next deployment. Here is what I came up with. The blade is 1/4" inch thick steel that I found, the handle is homemade micarta. I quenched it in water and cold blued the blade.
