Hi all,
Haven't been that active recently but I thought i'd kick off a little competition for a bit of fun, and if I can find something (Or if anyone wants to donate ) a little prize!!
The Competition
To create a featherstick out of a match stick, the most impressive one with the nicest curls wins, this will be judged by my humble self!
The rules
1. The match must be of standard size, about an inch or so long, so none of those 10cm long American jobbies, as it makes it easier!
2. You must use a normal Bushcraft knife (ie clipper), not some sort of scalpal etc because I'd like this to be a real test of control and skill with a normal knife!
3. You must post two pictures of your effort, the first is a close up of the match (see example i), the second is a zoomed out one showing the knife you used next to the match (see example ii)....this is to stop people taking close up shots of logs etc!!
4. The match must not be snapped into two pieces!!
Here is my effort:
(i)
(ii)
Have fun and GOOD LUCK!
EDIT: due to some stunning work I have had to step my efforts up!! hence picture update!
