Water hunt and field hunt today.

[rock]

I almost got skunked in the creek today so I hit the field and almost got skunked again . Not everyday can be great.
I think the drift wood was the best find of the day. HH, rock

Looks like a couple nice scrapers.
They must have really stood out without dark they are.

Yeah just a bit showing through the dirt. I went home rite after that stick decided to visit my big toe.

You know my day was the same just wasn't great that's a nice piece of driftwood I would of picked it up !!!

 

[GatorBoy]

Yeah.. I make stuff with old cypress I find down here.

 

[rock]

Im guessing its a piece of Oak. I visited that place where the pottery rim washed out from under the tree. I then went upstream quite a ways. I saw a sweet gravel bar and thought there should be some good ones on that thing. I was wrong nothing but rocks. I must of hit 8 gravel bars and only found 2 pieces of pottery all day. There is nobody that hunts that part of the creek so they should of been something. Maybe next yr. As soon as Deer season opens I wont be able to go back. It was my last creek hunt for the summer. The hunters will be going there soon they lease the property for hunting season.

Bet a dollar it's cedar or a pine not. That stuff tumbles and make some neat things. I always pick it up. Good hunt Rock!

That wood is cool! It looks fossilized. Nice flint also!

Yeah I forgot about the Cedar trees in the area. Should I put something on it to make it shinny?

 

[GatorBoy]

Just let it dry then sand it with progressively finer grit sandpaper.
At least that's what I do.
It looks natural but polished that way..not shiny.
This one's cypress.

As Gator said you can do several things. I have one I am going to brush up and clean and put a satin poly on and hang it outside. It looks like a horses head. I collect it in the spring for my taxidermist then if I have anything mounted it cost very little. Taxidermist pay a lot for good drift wood and there is a huge market for it.
Here is the piece I am talking about it is covered with rocks I picked up. It is actually pretty big and is blue cedar.

Gator, is that something you made? Really nice.

 

[GatorBoy]

Yeah.. there is lots of old cypress around where I've done alot of hunting.
The point is just a trinket from a pow wow that I hafted on a piece of bamboo for show.
I usually have a couple pieces of pottery laying on there with it.

In my area you can fill the back of your truck and a trailer up with drift wood from the Mississippi river. There is a lot that comes down from up north. One friend of mine makes chairs and tables out of drift wood.

I have seen some nice furniture made from it. I have a friend that might like to have it. Thanks, rack
