It consissted of around 15-20 wooden...

Parang Impressions
All the talk of big working blades inspired me to find out what the fuss is for.
The goal was/is to forge my own personal item. This is all well and good but with zero experience in big blades (as stated) I needed a bench mark.
Along comes a parang based...
Sorry...not much bush crafty, but this really amazed me when i saw it and now found the pic on my phone as i'm clearing stuff off
