Title: Traded this set for a Fixer Motorcycle!
Post by: rainshadow1 on February 12, 2013, 03:36:28 PM: Traded this set to a Hunt-Wa member for a fixer dirt bike...

ShedStud sent me the antler to work with, every piece (except the Wenge Cougar whistle) is made from his antler.

Just kidding! As long as you're both happy with the trade, it's all good. Beautiful work on the knife and calls, by the way. :tup:

Nwtf, there's the pin, and the multi-perforated hidden tang is 3" into the antler and set in solid epoxy. It isn't going anywhere!

I am sorry for my earlier comment. Just left you webpage. Your work is unreal. From one artist to another you got it going on!

Post by: NWTFhunter on February 12, 2013, 09:14:28 PM: I was wondering if you used epoxy.... Have you heard of or ever tried the old fashioned way ?
Title: Re: Traded this set for a Fixer Motorcycle!
Post by: rainshadow1 on February 12, 2013, 10:47:45 PM: I may or may not know what you mean by the "old fashioned way," but I don't know that I could build my bolsters (this one is G10 carbon/red carbon/G10 carbon/Walrus Ivory) and press and pin under pressure like I do with the method I think you're referring to... so I'm happy with new fangled!

Post by: sirfunkeybut on February 28, 2013, 07:16:44 PM: Very nice! Makes mine look like crap. I did mine by boiling it in water for a half hour until the pith was soft and pressed the tang into the hadle, it dries solid. At least so far so good

Post by: sirfunkeybut on February 28, 2013, 07:20:14 PM: Wanted share mine if it's ok, I made it for my girlfriend for our two year anniversary.
