Finally got a start on the large commission for curtain rods and hooks after a couple months worth of delays. Took an extra half hour to make a curtain rod lifter for the wife since she's about a foot shorter than me. Decided to put plastic feathers on the arrow I was making instead of real ones just to finish it and try it out. Works quite well on a hollow steel door with a 20lb bow.

Last Saturday I gave a shot at making a different style of knife I'd never tried making before. Last picture is before the final touches.

Started work on a few spike hangers for pounding into trees. Didn't get as far as I wanted to since it gets dark so early this time of year.

Did a practice run on the curtain rod holders I'd made for our place. Used a section of 3/8 rod to see how it would look and work. Gives me a chance to do some practical thinking for a large commission I just got for the same.
