February Free Time Fillers

[devon deer]

Beautiful work, Sawtooth. Is that the Rainshadow?

Batson? That is the only rod I have ever built using a Rainshadow blank, its a 4 pc 7 1/2' 4 weight, perfect for my treed river, but my clients do not get to use it!
I have done as Sawtooth did, I put a Jungle @#)(# feather on the blank.
I cocked up the first epoxy wrap, it never set, so I had to strip it off, the next mix set perfectly, but my wraps aren't as neat as Sawtooths.
Cheers
Richard

Batson, makes a nice rod blank. Great people to work with as well.

I’ll watch the lathe go round and round for more hours during the next month or two.

On nice days I’ll fit in plenty of prairie dogging....little more graphic when the towns are white with snow

I may even get in some of my own gun work.

Those Crappie and small mouth won't have a chance with those beauties.

Working on a powder horn

I started trapping the field in front of my house after our deer season went out last week. Did the same last year and caught two dozen or so coon, couple fox, and a fisher. Its a nice way to bridge the gap to turkey season. So this year i was less interested in the raccoons so I tried out something new for me, cable restraints. I put 5 out and to my surprise when I got home from work last night I found that I caught a nice male red fox.

Finished my "February" filler a little too early. Basic, but hopefully the first step in building a flintlock fowler.

 

[MTelkHuntress]

Lots of pyrography...still working up the courage for more ambitious realistic pieces.

That was a great choice of wood for that trout.

 

[Ben Lamb]

Really like the lines on that caribou. Well done!

 

[TC207]

Skiing, fly fishing when the weather permits, and tying flies mostly for me. And cooking. I would love to do some ice fishing this winter, and at some point I am going to use that wood burner I've had stashed away for ages.

 

[Hunting Wife]

Been spending more time on coyotes this winter. I’m getting better at stitching...


Like to do little arts and crafts projects with stuff.

When the coyotes get crappy, I should dig out my camera. Haven’t done much more than phone pics for too long now.

 

[Festus]

Just put together this 224 Valkyrie for something different to play with this spring/summer.
Should be a little cheaper way to ring some far away steel than the RUM or the 26.
I've only got to fire a few rounds to confirm operation after build but those Federal factories landed within 3/4" of each other at 100 yards.
This could be fun...

 

[Bulldog0156]

I've been working on my plans for maintenance items and rigging the boat and generally getting psyched up to use it a lot this summer. Gonna spend a week or so at Ft Peck in May.

 

[Ben Lamb]

Soda fire on the 13th. Rushing to try and get these done so they can be in that firing. Threw ten tea bowls last night while blasting Tool through the ear buds. Zen & the art of metal.
