I shot a wood duck!!!!! O man I am so excited, I could quit hunting waterfowl now!!! but I wont :-] Ill try to get some pic's on here soon........ trying to get the details on getting him mounted...... I am going to have The "Birdman" do the taxidermy you should check out his work its awesome.......... http://www.birdmanstudios.com/ CHECK IT OUT....... HOPEFULLY MY WOOD DUCK WILL BE ON HIS SITE SOON!!!!!

some more little projects

Dang thing I cant figure out how to turn it so my Chinks are hanging but you get the picture:-]
I made these when I was 18 and they have been awesome!!!! I would do a lot of things different now but you know what they way....... if it aint broke don't fix it.......

I just finished these saddle bags and horn bags the other day.... I tried them on a young horse and he bucked me off..... so I tried them on another horse that is a little more broke and they worked like a champ!!!!! I can carry all my survival gear and a first aid kit... plus my lunch and binoculars and something to drink!!!!!!! and they just snap off and on so I dont have to untie them every time I need to take them off my saddle.................

Old Horse shoes are awesome to work with!!!! Good thing he has a stout horse cuz that steer is pulling hard!!!!!!!
You gotta have the family brands hangin' on the walls !!!!!
The wife wanted a jewelry box for christmas..... took me while but it turned out pretty good!!!

Horse shoe Magic



I started on the antlers with an old horse shoe and ended up with a 3x4 Muley rack!!! I could not believe they turned out!!!! Then just some old barbed wire and a worn out 00 shoe and a little heat bluing on the frame its self and there you are :-]

The Boat Trailer


Well here she is..... all she is missing is the lug nuts to put the tires on!!! My bro. gets home from the mission tomoro the 16th of october so friday we will be rollin' to the duck killin spot in style!!!!!!

Knives from scratch

This is my latest pride and joy!!!! I started with 1x5 inch piece of a2 steel and forged it to shape and then bround in the blade. The handle is injected Burl maple...... the sheath is ok but I was in a hurry to try it out so i could have spent more time on it!!!












This one is a looker only, I dont dare use it it turned out so good.... handle is diamondwood..............
