riffleriversteelheadslayer 0 Report post Posted March 1, 2013 Yup that is what I thought Ben. I am talking to a few places to get some stuff to raffle off. One thing I know I have already been promised is a knife made from obsidian my friend and hunting buddy make them all winter long while he is out west then sells them on his way back to pay for his hunting trips all year long. Here is a knife like he makes The one he is making for this is going to have a fly that I tie inlayed into the handle which will be made of stag horn Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

riffleriversteelheadslayer 0 Report post Posted March 2, 2013 Thanks Mike he does great work he has been teaching me how to do the knapping on them but he is a true master of it he makes arrowheads ties necklaces all kinds of stuff. as for moving the venue I don't think the authorities would like me to tow my hog cooker thru 6 states smoking all the way Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
