    Only edible game?

    Closest I could find ---- Proverbs 12:27 ¶ The slothful [man] roasteth not that which he took in hunting: but the substance of a diligent man [is] precious. Forest (aka Pastor Page) :wink:

    A question about parched corn

    I'm a real newbie but for what it's worth - I bought up a bunch of decorative indian corn at Wally World when it went on sale after Thaksgiving season was over. It parched up well and, to my mind, looks "authentic." Tastes good too! Have to fight off my sons! Forest

    tomahawk

    carving burls

    Thanks for the advice! I know a guy who turns bowls from burls and he coats the end cuts with some sort of rubber cement looking stuff and lets them dry for ever. I don't want to invest in any new goop right now and I have less patience than Roy :wink: The end check is not too bad right...

    carving burls

    Was given a beautiful red birch burl that I want to use for a noggin. I plan on burning out the bowl most of the way and carving to finish. The burl has started to check and while reading about Swedish Kuksas it mentioned that the burl for these is soaked in salt water for several weeks so the...
