I have a geniune GB mask for the Wildlife hatchet going spare if anyone wants to swap it for "Something useful/ interesting". The mask was removed the day the axe arrived in the post and has not been used since (I made a mask to fit the axe before it was used). Any takers?
I'll give you an antler needle for it unless you were expecting something of more quantity/value. :rolleyes:

Longstrider,

Hi LS...........I have an axe that I need a mask for, though I am not sure if it would fit, would like to try though, what sort of thing are you after................Jon

Ralph, Sorry mate, I have quite a bit of antler to hand at the moment and plan on making my own bits and bobs from it so the needle does not have much appeal to me.
Red, The mask I made for the Wildlife is an exact copy of the pattern I used for the one I made for my SFA. Pictures of that one can be seen at... http://www.bushcraftuk.com/community/showthread.php?t=10904 but obviously smaller, to fit the smaller axe. If you would like one to this design for either a SFA or a Wildlife, drop me a PM and I'm sure we could come to some "arrangement" ;)
Jon, to be honest I don't know what I want for the thing, but if you can come up with any ideas PM me with your address and I'll get it sent off to you. (or I could take it to the Moot next month if you are going and we could do the swap there?) If it does not fit your axe, perhaps I could make one that did. Would need the axe for a day or two to do it though.
If anyone has a REALLY heavy piece of antler I'd swap in an instant. I want a good heavy piece for using as my hammer for flint knapping. Something about 10 to 12" long by a couple of inches diameter would be great. Stuff that size is generally too big for knife handles and the like, but I'm having hell of a job finding a bit big enough.

Longstrider,
Thanks for the piccs. An arrangement would have been great as I love the design. Wrong models though :(

They need it more than me anyway-I just thought it might be good for a spare incase the current one was lost/damaged. Good luck with the antler.
Hi Longstrider.........Here is a photo of my axe that needs a mask, what do you think, do you reckon it would fit ?.............Jon

That looks quite a bit bigger than the Wildlife Hatchet Jon, I doubt that the Wildlife mask would fit I'm afraid. :(
