Decided to put one of my carvings up for sale here. Carved this in 2022. I've enjoyed seeing it on shelf here, but it's time for it to find a new home. The vacant space will demand I find another log to whittle on to fill the void. The wood is mesquite, with an oil finish. It's a little over 17" tall, 9" wide and 7" deep at the base, getting thinner at the top as it was wedge cut from the log. Leans back a few degrees. Does weigh a few pounds as mesquite is a fairly dense hardwood. Deep relief with a touch of pyrography. Really like how the oil brings out the detail & grain. $1400 shipped in CONUS. If outside that area, we can see what is involved & the cost.

Decided to make a Christmas special with this. $950 shipped in conus. Would look great on any of the desks I've seen in hunters' offices; particularly those with an African feel to the room.

Jake, Sorry to bug you again. I was wondering if you could share a. couple actual pics of this crossbow with me?

Xpedition Archery USED Scrapeline390X Sniper Gray Crossbow XACW1001 - Light Wear - Needs Bolt/Arrow Guide Spring UA5689​

If it is in a decent shape, would you be willing to sell it for $100 shipped? IS it missing the retention spring that goes over the bolt?
Thank you Ferenc

Good morning John, I just read your setup procedure for the northstar duplicator ator. I found it very hand and I did learn some things. I have the same machine and I am having a problem i can not figure out and was hoping you could shed some light on the subject.
