Thanks u 2

OK, finished sanding the tomahawk, nice n sharp. I really like the fact that the base grip on the tomahawk is the “tomahawk grip” and the higher grip is more of a “pistol grip” for close encounters.

It needed a base to sit on, so I used an old piece of manzanita wood

Gong is really nice. New walking stick, you have a wonderful collection of those. It will be fun to see what you do with it. Skinning the beast. A big boy for sure. You must be getting bigger arms with all this work.
