Speaking as a guy with fumbley hands in cold, wet weather or gloves, the larger size with projecting legs and such are a plus rather than a minus. Get a little grease on a block, and you'll be chasing it if its' too small or smooth. Kinda like a bar of soap in the shower.

Sounds as though the next one should have a bit of textured carving as an adornment.

Cool!!

Beautiful work. Very nicely done, but seems awfully big for just two extra shots.

It looks like you could have put another one in its head and maybe two in the tail!
I could kind of see someone sitting around the fire on a cold winter's whitlin on one of these, many a year ago!

Not to put anybody down, as this is not my intent, but all of these "on and on" comments praising the fine art of drilling a couple holes in a board to hold a couple balls isn't rocket science!

Yeah I could have made it with more shots, but it would have detracted from the overall "feel" of the piece, also there really should be no reason for more than a follow up shot or two.

I am to guess that you are comparing this to the rocket science of powder horns I spose?

Yah, That must be it!..... :rotf: :rotf: :rotf:

Not sure on this one.

But I am thinking that the positive comments are directed more at the design and sculpting of the wood and less about the drilled holes, eh.

Just saying.....
