I propose another competition, the thing is that I get something out of it too! 
Some of you may have seen that I have a new tent, Old Stinky, that I will be sleeping in tonight with my tribe in the garden! The poles that poke through the canvas are in need of pimping though, they have simple plastic balls that push on and they look a bit naff. So I propose that some bitchin' finials are carved that I could put on top to make my Carry on Camping tent the best one in the camp!
I have a Mora duo to give away, mainly due to a lack of use. No sheath for the larger knife as of yet, but I'll see if I can get something together before the knife goes to the eventual winner. The smaller knife is the triflex model in black handle with leather sheath and a ferro rod with a quick release doo dah, the larger is a good working knife that could be compared to a leuuku. Quite thin, but wickedly sharp.
So, what is required are a matching pair of finials in wood to sit atop the tent along the ridgeline with an 11 mm hole in the bottom to accept the peg that pokes through from the tarp below. A couple of horses heads, or some gargoyles or wolves. Whatever you think will look great atop Old Stinky! The winners' finials will sit on the very top, but don't be down hearted if you don't win, there are other places to put the finials such as the awning at the front, the rear and the large window on the side! Here's a picture of the Blue Beast so that you can see what she looks like!
I will put pictures up of all finials recieved and the vote will be made by members of the forums, in that way there is no ambiguity as to who has won and no doubt about fair play. Not sure how long to let this one run though, if it is three or four weeks then that will give plenty of time for finial carving and I can hopefully get some clothes on the big chopper!
If you're interested, put your name down and we'll see how it goes. Any comments on the run time of this are also welcome. I've put this in the traditional crafts section as it is carving and that seemed right, Mods to move if not please!
