Tree Reaper Report post Posted February 23, 2013 (edited) That's a beautiful carving but I would have thought a duck or a game bird might be more appropriate. Nice work just the same. Edited February 23, 2013 by Tree Reaper Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sicksteene Report post Posted February 23, 2013 You are probably right, but I have been wanting to try tooling a moose, and one of these lanyards, killed two birds with one stone and now I have somewhere to put them. Thanks for the kind words. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SmokeCigars Report post Posted February 23, 2013 I'm digging the moose. Any outdoorsman will enjoy it. That looks like a good project I could make for my father in law. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sicksteene Report post Posted February 23, 2013 This will probably end up as a gift for my father-in-law, as of yet it doesn't have a home so maybe I will just keep it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LeatherLauren Report post Posted February 24, 2013 Hey! Awesome! And you are welcome I hope those strands hold up well for you. Did you use anything to waterproof it? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sicksteene Report post Posted February 24, 2013 I used sno-seal, heated the piece in the oven, liberal amounts of sno-seal, repeated this process 4-5 times, I hope it is waterproof but I am not sure. The strands are made of para cord, all the loops are sewn and wrapped with waxed linen thread and then the ends were covered with heat shrink tubing. The whole process is trial and error. Thank you again for the inspiration. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jimbob Report post Posted February 24, 2013 What in the heck is a bird lanyard....!? You catch a bird with it....or can you make it sit on it to swing.... no clue..!???? That's what my wife says about me.......well, that is another story... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LeatherLauren Report post Posted February 24, 2013 No problem. A bird lanyard would be to hang the birds from the neck so they don't have to be in the mud on the ground or wherever you are. Keeps them together for easy carry out of the blind/lake/woods. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

shooter55 Report post Posted February 25, 2013 That's a beautiful carving but I would have thought a duck or a game bird might be more appropriate. Nice work just the same. Maybe he wants to dual purpose it and use it as a Moose Lanyard too. Need larger lanyards I suspect though...... Very nice job. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sicksteene Report post Posted February 25, 2013 Thanks for the compliments, if need be, I could throw it around the neck of a moose and lead him out. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
whiteeugene Report post Posted February 26, 2013 Thanks for the compliments, if need be, I could throw it around the neck of a moose and lead him out. As long as she don't have a calf they get a bit nasty with there calf around, it could be a new rodeo event moose leading. LOL Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
