Ever been to the wild horse bucking sale in Mile City, MT? Man, you can see anything there.

Great carving and painting

Looked at it, thanks, answers my question.
My Folks had a meat processing plant, which I grew up in it. & the knife he is using looks like a boning knife with about half the blade removed to create the point at the end. As a rule, there were always exceptions, meat cutting knives were made...

Well, the 3"er has been cluttering up my desk so I decided to...

Denny, Miss this great carving when the first post. Would like to blame the eyes, but I think it was probably something else, none the less, a say, a day late and a dollar short. Good job, but I don't think your fence will slow him down much

[joepaulbutler]

Thanks for the great tip

[joepaulbutler]

Good job Steve, I'm afraid to try one, might get hocked also

[joepaulbutler]

A real GRINNER, that is for sure, a superb carving

[joepaulbutler]

The nerve-wrecking part, luck to you

[joepaulbutler]
