spike25blue 55 Posted March 4, 2012 Report Share Posted March 4, 2012 a natural fork can be strong correct by natural fork a meen a for that has been formed by the branches from the tree not one cut from a board or plank.. i assure you im not picking a fight just setting the record straight i use the bill hayes design with consent that is also changed slightly with shape and size sold quite alot of them because they are good and the finish product is finished to high standards as you can see good on ya for having a try at making them atb rob Quote Link to post Share on other sites
micckey 106 Posted March 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2012 i am not trying to hit a market of mass produced crossply copys,,,,i make hand carved solid wood nd naturals which are bespoke by me... they are strong enough to hunt with nd are not all the same thats what i like about making them,,,if anyone else likes them i make thats fine .. ive given more away than ive sold but thats just me... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
