Jack craftey did an awesome serious on the secrets of the adz. He talked in more detail about the specific price of wood and what to look for. He also did a full tutorial on hafting and the difference between a round and sharp one.
Yes that's our experience too. So we rarely use horsetail rush, but we use scouring rush which works much better. We even transplanted some into our garden. When we harvest some, and it completely drys out, we will soak it before working with it. The scouring rush usually grows really close to a river. It's not too uncommon but less common than horsetail rush.
Good morning: I happened across your RUclips channel, and I hope your expertise with bone can be some help for me. My daughter has requested a deer rib bone wand, from a skeleton she gave to me last Mother’s Day. No legs, but parts the torso and the head. There aren’t any videos on that; only horns and antlers. I tried the method, and snap, broke the bone. I don’t have too many rib bones; I’d appreciate some tips, even if it’ll be time consuming, and incremental. But if it’s not possible to do so, that’s ok.
Nice project. So if the ribs are a little old and the connection to the rib cage is still hard to separate threatening to break, you might choose to just saw it off right at or near the end where it connects, and then really polish it up good, sanding it fine and buffing it up with leather. Then wrap the end down as far as you want with a nice cord, and weave in your wand material. Feathers would be nice. I suppose you could very carefully drill into the very end if you want to wrap in or glue in feathers. It may be just a little help to see our deer rib knife video and our deer scraper video. But we didn't separate the bone in those. But we did in our ulna bone knife video. It's nice you are making something meaningful for your daughter. Good luck. ruclips.net/p/PLyxJUrRQ1m2z9s-Hrm1LgJ4cOCcpRxKfj
@@wildernessstrong6131 I wasn’t specific ; my apologies. Is there a method to straighten out the rib bone ? To take the curve out of it? Thank you for your reply
If we look at videos from un contacted tribes that exist today the adze it not used for wood working or agriculture, it is strictly a weapon. In every case where a tribe makes first contact an adze is present, some are even made completely from wood and are always carried and used a a main weapon. If we look at two specific example the north sentinel Island people attack a boat using a wooden adze, in another case in the Amazon the leader was carrying a beautiful stone adze but refused to hit a tree with it and would only gently tap the tree to see what kind of marks it left but that same leader brandished his adze in a threatening manner. In our modern context we have tools that resemble a adze so we understand that it can be used for other things however I am convinced based on actual video evidence of modern day Stone Age tribes the adze was not ever used as a tool but strictly a weapon similar to a war club.
love your channel,your topics are spot on....
Much appreciated, thank you!
I loved the video, thank you for sharing :)
Awesome build!
Nice tool,😍
Brilliant work when using multiple tools .😊
Awesome work
Got a video on how to make this kind of pitch I’ve seen the stick hard black stuff but never it this color and this plyible love it!
These are awesome
Good job
Amazing these are not only very functional but also very pleasing to the eye.

Lol you guys need to stop by and show me how to make a adz.
Subbed
Great job once again. Have you noticed that some horsetail holds together really well and some falls apart when you’re sanding ? any idea why?

@@wildernessstrong6131 Thank you. I will look for that and remember to soak it.
👍👍👍👍
