FINALLY!!!!

Finally I get to post to my blog again! It's been crazy around here for a few weeks. I had a big interview on the 14th so I spend several weeks and weekends craming in preparation. I did virtually nothing "outdoorsy" until last weekend, but then I was too tired to post here. Now I have 3 long overdue posts to come out within the next few days!

First, just a quick update on my knife progress. I get to work on the first one every once in a while before I go to bed. Here it is with only 2 wood and a birch bark section added:



And here's the stage it's at now. All the wood is on and I've started shaping the handle with a coping saw:


So far I'm very pleased with the way it is turning out. In fact I can't wait to finish it so I can take it out into the woods! It's been quite a fun little project up to this point, so I'm a little sad it's almost done. Still, next I have to make a sheath for it, and that's a whole new project!!
