Where do you get your blades, Jeff?  I really like the Ulu style but can't find any blade stock.

Very very nice. I like pecan, reminds me a great deal of bitternut hickory.

You do nice work, Jeff. How's your autumn shaping up down there? My sister was in Auckland for a month or two several years back. Still talks about New Zealand's beauty, everywhere you'd look, she says, it takes your breath away. From what little I've had a chance to see, I'm inclined to wholeheartedly agree.

hey every one thank you for your kind words it is going to take a while to finish as i got to make some pegs to peg the blade in the handle and then i will stain the handle with  a pigmented stain which should bring out the grain in the wood if not. s..t happens and back to the drawing board dennis i got the blades from jantz supply. man they got so much stuff there it aint funny. when iam finished i will get ron to post some pics.  :notworthy:    :notworthy:    :campfire:    :archer:

Do we need to "sign up" here to "enter"?

Ulus make awesome bear fleshers against a flat surface and since we have bears here...pick me, pick me!
