Yard Sale ML Stuff.

[Adam Helmer]

Today we had the big townwide yard sale beginning at 0800. First off I found a nice possibles bag for 50 cents. Actually, it will go to my son-in-law because he needs a second one. I found the nicest NEW tomahawk for $1.00 and could not peel off the buck fast enough from my money clip.

At home I compared the new 'hawk to my throwing 'hawk. The throwing hawk has an 18-inch handle and 3.5 inch wide bite. The new 'hawk has a 21-inch handle and 5-inch bite. The new 'hawk is more like a battle axe. I fitted the head to the handle, filed on a better cutting edge and then stained and linseed oiled the handles of both 'hawks.

Next week loyal hound, Lori, and I will construct our half-faced camp in the West Woods. We will build it out of natural materials by cutting framing logs with the 'hawks. I will put a tarp overhead for a roof and conceal it by using boughs on top. We will Woods Loaf therein this Summer with a flintlock leaning against an upright post.
