  4. I close my eyes and can see your vision. peaceful. LOVE Spanish moss hanging from old Oaks I also have a vision of a moss covered old oak tree in a old cemetery with dilapidated wrot iron fence around it, Church with a steeple in the back ground. under the tree are leaning head stones with the names of fallen Brothers I want this as a full back tattoo but lack the drawing skills
  5. Among the Plains Indians of North America, counting coup is the warrior tradition of winning prestige against an enemy in battle. It is one of the traditional ways of showing bravery in the face of an enemy and involves intimidating him, and, it is hoped, persuading him to admit defeat, without having to kill him

  7. Where did you get that 50% number from?

  9. I made one of those. It looks really good and it would be a very good seller to a huge group of people. what I did not like about it was the size it has to be in order to get enough weight to be effective. granted it is a change purse and can not be denied as such. mine is a key fob, it can be troublesome if the person seeing it wants to push the issue but it would win the argument in a court of law. THAT is a lot of drama to go through
  10. i was bored so I made a couple more

    My Hat

    This was my first attempt about a year ago This is the hat i finished yesterday
  21. I did not like this mallet and did not use it. Till i added the antler I got from you and weighted the head. now i use it all the time If you noticed, I sanded a flat spot on the head. I got tired of glancing blows, I hit it square now.
  22. You can adjust the weight of your hammer using lead shot. I drilled holes in the head of the hammer. Added and subtracted lead till it felt right covered the holes using a leather spacer to keep lead from falling out the handle, keeps the leather washer in place I have not weighed this hammer But the feel of it is perfect for my purpose
  23. RUFF!!!!!!! I can recognize that pattern anywhere. GOOD JOB. It looks GOOD!!!!!
