[Moonshine and blades]

Made this one from a spalted cherry trunk for a barter trade with a friend.

took about a total 14 hours of carving and sanding in all over many days and shoots like a dream!

It is probably my favorite one so far and was a bit hard to let go of it.

Using my trusted Mora knife a few files and sandpaper.

finished it with yacht varnish.

Carving that fork with a Mora knife is an achievement. Lots of work involved.

Beautiful., and hard core hand carved! :bowdown: Nice work.

Sanding is addictive, this forum is a good support group.

Yeah, but I do love the process of shaving off bits of wood to get to the desired shape.

I appreciate people use belt sanders, but I prefer to treat my slings as sculptures.

Thanks,

Other than shooting, this is my favorite part of the game.

Sanding is very therapeutic, so not surprised its addictive.

I find hand carving,sanding,and filing meditative and therapeutic.

Im a simple man.All I ever wanted growing up is to have a poach to sit whittle and spit with the company of a mug filled with your choice of fluid and a loyal dog.

Ive been very fortunate in my life goal maybe because its so simple or or its in-beaded in my spirit so deep that it comes natural.

Its a comfortable feeling knowing we are not alone in our almost obsessive habits. Being able to find peace in something so simple and cheap is reassuring.

Sand away my fellow brother-n, sand away. (this sounds like the beginning of a song)

Nice work! I too have been swayed by the music of the rasp. I didn't start off making frames this way but I now understand that satisfaction can be had one little cut at a time.

Add a mixture of Georgia cultural attributes and Indiana weather, today(75 degrees)!

Ill make the fire and you bring your own rocking chair, and we will try to wear out my porch.

That looks like a straight up Monster. Guaranteed to take down any type of game. Good work carving is immaculate!!

Would love to do just that my friend, and leave this Georgia weather in the rear view for a few days.....92 yesterday....it is in the low 70's on my way to work in the mornings at least.
