I had an old pair of cowboy boots I couldn't bear just throwing out so I got creative. This is a primitive pouch for a fire starting kit. It will hold some flints, a striker steel and tinder fluff.

Not taxidermy but this is my favorite knife to work with. Uncle Henry Sharp finger. Takes and keeps a sharp edge. I’ve had a few, lost a few, got a few more. Anytime I see one for under twenty bucks I buy it. I made the sheath for this one. Yes I do custom leather work too.

Cleaning up an elk skull for a Europe mount I found something crazy in its eye socket. A 3 inch broken off top of an antler from fighting. I can't imagine just toughing it out with an injury like that. Tough animal to say the least.

Just getting into the swing of things. Last August I was diagnosed with throat cancer. Chemo and radiation treatments ran from November 1 to the last week of December. So much for hunting season work. I took in a few deer and a couple small jobs. The deer are drying up and will be ready to deliver next week. Turkey season and fishing coming up soon.
The cancer is in remission and the tumor is gone. I see a Ear Nose and Throat doctor every six week and get a PET scan every 3 months for the next two years. After that it will drop to six month intervals until I’ll be considered cancer free at five years without reoccurrence.
