Miguel has said his interested as well, on FB

 

[Big Stu 12]

Think I 'll pop up ther for about 10:30 for a couple of hrs, not all day

 

[ozzy1977]

Ok, I cut my arrows down the other day and need to get used to them.

 

[Big Stu 12]

that looks like me, thee and Miguel then.. no doubt Steve will be about later, lol

Let me know if anyone wants (next year, a bit late this year) feathers for their fletchings, my uncle has a turkey farm and ends up with bags and bags of feathers after slaughter, so let me know.
I'm going to try dying feathers this xmas see if it makes them easier to find after.

Where are you off to? I love archery. Need to get back into it.

 

[Big Stu 12]

I did not put up the pics of the bits i made for Mike.. here they are Hope you like , A nice sheath for his Clipper and an axe mask and Belt loop for it.

Yeah, you can get Turkey feathers that are coloured and still have the pattern on, but as I say harder to find in the undergrowth,

We are members (Steve, Chris, Miguel and myself) Oakwood Bowmen at Rendelsham, the club has a range with perm 2D targets and regular shoots with 3Ds.

[ozzy1977]

I know whatyou mean about too many projects, I have about 6 axes, an adze, a bunch of chopper type things all requiring new wood and leather work, also got a few old bits of furniture needing restoration.

 

[ozzy1977]

Colin do you want me to bring a few aze heads along next month for your helve

 

[ceryni]

also if anyone has an old axe head that needs restoration I do need an axe! Don't have one

 

[Big Stu 12]

3 axes to helve
1 Adze to refurb and handle
1 Small Crook Knife to handle
1 Clipper to de-handle extend the tang to full tang and then scale
1 Stag handled necker to refurb, and make a sheath for
1 file knife to finish.. last one took two years..lol.
1 copper project now......

the list grows.. so glad I got my String Ball Balls and my new arrows done today. its a good job that I cant afford that Apache Canoe yet.....

The ones I have I have done the refurb, just got to helve them

Car Boots are a good place to pick up axes ect.... saying that my fav one is the £4 one from tool station, once I had got a good edge on it it works great

When I get an old rusty one I like to use Molasses to clean the rust off .

 

[ceryni]
