Thread: Scrap handled modified billhook

  1. #1

    Scrap handled modified billhook

    Ive had a billhook in my shed for a while now. The hook was more or less non existant so i ground it down.

    As with all my little projects they seem to take far longer than they should, so it sat in my shed for a good few months and over the last couple of weekends ive been plodding on again.

    Bit of brass and leather and other odds and sods i found im now at this stage.

    All glued up,peined and drying ready for shaping. Ill keep u all posted

    Cheers

    Amazing a few scraps of bone n scrap leather,can become so smooth,good looking n functional.
    Never had much luck getting leather that smooth.do you use a belt sander??

    Thanks folks. It was roughed out with a rasp. Then on the belt sander. Ive got a lot of hand sanding to do to finish off
