Since there wasn't major blowback, I continued. Got a few more done recently. All are made with ponderosa pine (yellowpine) needles. Handles out of Randy Shuff tanned beaver tail. Beaver tail leather bottom, coyote ankle bones in sides. Tiny whitetail deer antler bail. Base is western juniper slices. Another antler handle. Beavertail leather base. Any of you out there ever try it? Books for sale on Amazon, Barnes & Noble etc. Poetic Injustice The Last Hunt Wild Life Long Way Home
