BUNKHOUSE RAMBLINGS

[outrider]

Ned,

The glasses getting fogged trick happens to me all the time in the summer.....been mid to high 90's here with heavy humidity

[Kid Terico]

Yesterday the news announced that Mn. Had the highest humidity reported next to the Amazon. No Joke. KT

[Ned Buckshot]

I heard on the news this morning that counting wind chill and heat index MN has the widest temperature swing in the US!

[GunClick Rick]

So Mn has alot of hot sweaty swingers? I thought Ca. was bad

[Kid Terico]

Clicker Mammoth is right and the top is Maple. KT

[GunClick Rick]

There is some black walnut trees growing wild so to speak on some old property around the corner from me,i wonder if that would be good for knife handles.My mountain man buddy used to get the pup shoots to make arrow shafts from.Alot of it is pretty dried up,been there for years.They used to graft the english walnuts to it.The folks that live around there would probably let me have all i want.There is some oak too,but i don't know what to look for to be a good piece for anything.

[Ned Buckshot]

Only 118 heat index today!

All time high dew point yesterday @82!

Fargo/Morehead hit a 130 heat index yesterday!!!!!!!!!!!

KT, that knife is really something. The mammoth ivory is really beautiful. Dave did his usual outstanding work on that. Cudos to you both.

Hi,

This is my very first attempt at leather wor in my life. It is all freehand no pattern except for the holster cut out.
I just sat down and started cutting.
Please dont laugh. I know I have a long way to go. Just tell me what you think.
Any advice or tips would be great. Here is the pic.
Thanks Guys.

Hi,

This is my very first attempt at leather wor in my life.

It is with deep regret that I must inform you that the leather bug has bitten you.  There is no known cure for the leather bug venom.  Many people that have been bitten go into regression for a period of time but the symptoms always reappear.  Nice job and free hand no less.  Welcome to the community.
