I made a Ying/Yang salt & pepper shaker from a deer antler. The stopper on the salt side is Holly. On the pepper side, Black Walnut. Large antlers have a spongy interior. So for the spouts, I drilled out the spongy center and glued in a Maple plug. Then I drilled out the center of the plugs...

Pure luck Children's brains are immature, and sometimes they do irrational things without thinking. BTW, the only thing that's better than scientific facts are better facts. You "whiff test" is completely irrelevant .

It is most certainly NOT Parents cannot speed up a child's biological brain development. No matter how they are taught, they still have the brains of children, and they still make spontaneous poor choices. It's what children do, and no amount of parenting can change that.

I rest my case LOL

Clinical fact that children do not have the maturity to responsibly handle guns until late teens. As "mature" as some may seem, their brains are still developing and "mature" they are not. By definition. I knew a "very mature" 15 year old kid who, at a deer hunting camp, was cleaning his...

I shoot them all, the only difference is how I handle them. My beauty isn't taken out in the mud & rain.

Ancient recipe that goes back at least 1,500 years. Called "atramentum" or "shoe black" in the medieval period, more recently known as vinagroon. You can also use ground-up iron sulfate mineral in place of iron, works better and faster than dissolving iron. Acetic acid + iron = iron acetate +...

That's an even better idea!

Thanks for all the suggestions! This is what I've done - hang an antler tip for weight.

Yes it is!

I can make those easy. But I'm wondering how a button would work with the inch-long deer fur.

I have a belt pouch with a deer pelt (with the tail) as the front flap. The fur is about 1-inch thick. I could leave the flap without a way to secure it closed, but I'm really interested in being able to secure the flap down. How would you do it?

I'm gonna say that wood looks like huckleberry

Leave it to Texans to ruin good ol' Mexican chili I won't eat that texas chili con carne crap. Mexican or New Mexican chili is much better.

That's a beautiful and historically accurate ball bag, you should be happy and proud.

Bingo!

I have a 1/2-mile private gravel driveway off a remote gravel road. The Post Office drivers come up to our house 3 to 5 days a week. As I said, it's not about the company, it's all about the local people with that company.

All depends on the local people in the local service. Gotta find what works in your area. What you describe is the same abysmal service I get from UPS. They won't even drive up my road, they leave the package on the side of the road down at the intersection, and the delivery status says "Left...

As a leather worker, I can say with authority that is very impressive work.
