Need help to make own drawknife

[aloehunter]

Hi to all you gents
 

I need assistance in the form of dimentions,profiles and any kind of know how to assist me in making my own drawknife.

I am residing in South Africa and the mention of the word drawknife =  :confused:to hardware dealers local.  

It is also very expensive to order a drawknife from the states due to the exchange rate.

I have made many boardbows and want to experiment with local staves such as Wild Olive as i am convinced it has more or less the characteristics of your Osage though not as beautifull.

I find the forum very helpfull and informative as primitive and traditional archery are still in the infant stages in South Africa.I have assisted and mentored a view friends in making Bord bows and the flame is starting to burn brighter  already.

Regards
