Well, kitten fish…….Catfish take flies???
Rough cutting burls today. Got a maple and white oak done then killed the chain on the next. Will change the chain and get back to the rest of them next time.
Gotta love your system!
Cut some blanks from yesterdays roughed pieces. Four on the left are oak, others thought was maple but doesn’t look like it now, not sure what it is. Soft like sugar maple but shows spaghetti, different grain and no smell. Thought Beech but bark no match, like it no matter what it is, will just call it ?wood on the label of finished piece.

Had a small piece of burning bush (Euonymus) die and I pulled it out today. Large enough for a small form, so chucked it up and spin it. Interesting spalt lines and colors. Real punky towards the mouth, so think I'll mix up some poor man's hardener (epoxy plus acetone) and give it a soak before I finish the outside.
Made quick gifts for a couple likker-drinkin' buddies!
Got a few mule deer and whitetail antlers ready to...
Ready to ????
Yep. Ready to... 
Some will be cut and drilled for pen blanks. The guy that I got the whitetail from wants some turkey call strikers with the antler incorporated into them.

What are they smoking it with?
I'll include some hickory sawdust. Shoulda put the screen in the bottom before I took the photo.

Never thought of that....
Looks nice! What is it and how are these used for liqueur drinking?
<---‐- doesn't drink liqueur.
It would work some better with the screen.
I'll make one with all antler except the tip. He knows it probably won't sound good but he's fine with that. I'll put sections of antler and wood in the others
Got to tell us a little more on the design/size/hole size. This would be a perfect gift for my nephew.
