Maybe this will count! I put it as a thumbnail since it was a very large camera file. I just made some hand brooms with pine needles collected from the ground after a bit of wind- they're such cute holiday decorations (and smell good too!)
I appreciate everyones input and other recipes- it gives me alot of options and ideas on what to make coming up. I'll ask once more for the family recipe but if all else fails, I'll be back here to these recipes :)
I used a recipe cut out from a magazine last year (as I still can't convince anyone to get the family recipe!) and tried it out for Sweet Potato Casserole. However it tasted much too bitter and I wondered if it had too much Ginger to it. I typed the recipe out in full for any input as it was...
Didn't eat this one (not against snake- it's good!) but used it to gauge interest from bigger predators and see who's out there. The hide is tanned and stretched and we're going to put it on the wall in the cabin with other hides. We agreed that the first of every kind of hide tanned after...
Had the pleasure of tanning a small rattlesnake recently, though not a pleasure walking up on it laying blended in the Fall leaves (watch your step folks!)
Used an alum paste tan after salting/stretching it and am extremely happy with the turnout. Even managed to keep the tail on.

Just wanted to say I admire your forum signature every time I see it! What a great reminder to treat everyone with respect, as you never know what they have going on. :thumbsup
@sumi - Continuing prayers for you! I'm guilty of not checking in on the thread for a bit so I apologize for not saying sooner that I was still thinking of you and wishing you well. I'm sorry to hear of the spot on your lungs, but I am hoping your treatment and the care by your doctors will...
Thank you for setting this up for such a wonderful leader of the community here.
Sumi, our prayers are with you no matter the circumstance, and I want you to know I am praying for you and asking God to watch over you and help you recovery swiftly. Thank you for all you do!

Shelving and regular cleanups keep it semi-organized
3) What are your favorite tools for woodworking?
I mainly work with...
@CrealCritter - Would love to see photos of what you are working on next. We are getting our sawmill going again and about to start cutting. Have you ever milled up anything like Yellow Tulip Poplar or American Beech?
So, the bell was basically step one. It doesn't stay in there with them, but when I'm out there with them I will set it on the ground to see if they want a snack. They get jealous if they see the chickens ringing the bell and they'll come over and scoot them aside (even if they're full.) The...
Not a photo butttt here's a video we did awhile back of Tater and Tot ringing their bell. They're only knocking on 5 months old now but they're so smart- we love them silly!
@milkmansdaughter - I saw you posted photos of Noccalula awhile back- isn't it a gorgeous place?! We had a drought like 2....3 years back that dried the falls up completely if you remember that?
