Thanks for joining us Uncle, I would love to see that trick.

Welcome to the tribe Skip!

Thank you so much 57 Willys!

Thank you so much!

Thank you my friend, I really appreciate that!

@ I appreciate you showing your work

Thank you Four Oak, I appreciate that very much.

Thank you my friend! I was told that the fringe helps to wick away the rain but l’m not sure that’s true. You’ll find fringe on clothing all around the northern part of the world, l think it adds animation to one’s movements, as in dance. The mountain men probably just picked it up from the native folk. I do believe the longer style was more common among the horse culture though.

Thanks Joe! You’re right about it not being like basswood 😁. Have you ever tried moose antler? It carves really nicely , quite different than bone, it’s kinda like extremely dense rawhide.

Thank you David, I feel blessed to have such wonderful material to work with. We hope to do more lengthy videos soon, I have a whale’s tooth carving coming up that should be pretty fun. Thank you for your support, it means a lot!

Thank you so much Scott, I truly appreciate you.

@StockmanOriginal and we all appreciate you and all you share with us.

Thank you Ashley, I love sharing with you folks for sure!😀❤️

Thank you my friend, I would love to see your walking stick.

Hello Bookwyrms, moose antler is a very good carving material if you use the stem or the brow tines, those parts are solid. The palms and tines beyond that tend to get punkier and harder to detail.

Thank you Curt! No, not too much, mostly depends on the angle of your tool.

Hello Joe, hope all is well!

@@KyleThoran Thank you so much and welcome to the tribe!!

@ I can’t believe I am only finding your channel now. What wonderful and peaceful content. My wife and I love New Hampshire (we are in RI). Your channel gives the feeling we find is naturally produced in your beautiful state. Your hand craftsmanship appears to pay homage to the native people of our region. I absolutely love it! Please keep it going!

@ Thank you Kyle, that’s really nice to hear!! We’re so happy you found our channel. Hey, you’re just down the road a bit from us, that’s awesome. We hope you enjoy some more of our videos and we’ll pop some new ones on as we can. WELCOME TO THE TRIBE!!!

Hello Tomco, l hope l got that right. Welcome to the tribe, we appreciate your support and l love questions. First, the knife l used in the beginning is one of my wood carving knives, it’s store bought but I do make a lot of my own tools. We have a number of videos on that sort of thing. Secondly, the bracelet l’m wearing is actually ivory but you can make them out of bone or horn, you just need an appropriate size piece of material. I guess this moves into your third question but there are so many ways to make a bracelet from a one piece hoop to a pieced together type, to a bone beaded sort. I’ve got a video on making beads. I hope this helps, please don’t hesitate to ask me for further details, l love helping.

Thank you Darkranger!

Hello and welcome to the tribe. I hadn’t heard of that but apparently it is the same as mustard gas so I’m glad l didn’t actually breathe any in.

Hello Joe, yes same linseed oil. You can get it either boiled or raw, boiled will dry eventually but raw will not, and you use boiled for indoor applications and raw for outdoor use. I have never heard of carnauba paste before so I can’t help you with that.

@StockmanOriginal went to bed pretty late; in the name of Jesus! I just got up and smiling... Good sign Brian! As usual; you are a lovely human being! Thank you for taking a moment to chat with your followers; then again: it says a lot about you! Many Blessings to you and yours! Say hi to Max for me. Excellent day my dear friend!

I do have Carnauba by the way; paste & for buffing wheel... Thanks again!

@@BreakmyHorseJoeLouis Hi Joe, is it a buffing compound? If so I would avoid it with wood as it may deposit in the pores of the grain and discolor the wood. Oils and waxes are good and for a high shine l would recommend burnishing it with a smooth bone or hardwood. I wish for you the best of days!

@StockmanOriginal Nice! Is just 100% Carnauba paste. No dyes or other cleaners in it. Thank you for taking a moment to come back! Blessings my dear friend!

Sean, thank you so much! Welcome to the tribe!

Hi Joe, that glue is called Tite Bond ll and I don’t think it’s toxic. Keep in touch and be well my friend.

@StockmanOriginal thank you for the time Brian!

Thank you so much Joe! It’s great to hear from you, I hope all is well with you. Are you in the states? Hit me on messenger, l’d like to keep in touch.

@StockmanOriginal Gee; I was in the middle of Mr. Ballen's stories.. Happy as well that you took the time to answer, like always; fans are very important! I just got back from California. I'd love to make contact; I'll keep in touch right here; we know how! Blessings my dear fella & happy near holidays!
