So ah, hey. Can you make a walking stick out of the end of my own thigh bone for me?
Loved how casually you asked what is possibly the weirdest request I have ever read on a forum!

@223nut, would you really want the dagger in it!!!! It would at least ward off the Island beasts for you...!!! If you didn't want the sharp pointy bit, I guess it would cease to be a Makila...

Yeah the dagger is a bit over the top, would class it as an offensive weapon I'd guess

Yeah, there are not too many wolves running around our hills so there's probably not much call for the pointy bit, but the basic idea and decorative bits are great. When I was in Bayonne I spoke at length with an artisan manufacturer and it was impressive to understand the methods and detail that went into a genuine Makila. As they're considered an offensive weapon in NZ I need an Import Permit to bring one home. One day... one day.
As and aside, I wanted to call my daughter Makila... it was all fine until the wife found out it was also the name of a helicopter turbine engine. I lost traction after that. LOL.EeeBees likes this.

Hazel nut branch that I had in the garage ceiling for several years.
Made into a gift for the good bloke in France that keeps inviting me to shot driven boar
Added a couple of Jay feathers from one shot on our shoot.
