These are a couple wood spirits carved in poplar. The steels are from firesteel.com 1/4" x 3".

Black

Cordovan

They are both available for fire kits.

Enjoy.

Thanks Red!

I moved this to the classifieds. Nice looking work! Someone will have a wise looking companion in their pocket.

Buckskin · « **Reply #4 on:** August 07, 2012, 10:57:41 AM »

Okay Boss.

I guess I will add then that they are $30 each shipped to CONUS. Outside that will be a bit extra.

Edit: Sorry missed the post with the price.

Shameless Bump!

Buckskin · « **Reply #9 on:** August 30, 2012, 06:44:19 AM »

These two pieces are still available

land cruiser · « **Reply #10 on:** September 07, 2012, 04:09:28 PM »

Can you use a thicker rod? BTW, no fire was started with matches during my 4 day camping trip over the Labor Day weekend. Few folks tried your fire steel out and loved it. Thank you!

Buckskin · « **Reply #11 on:** September 07, 2012, 07:49:16 PM »

Land Cruiser I think the next rod up is a 3/8. I had not thought to try one at that size since the 3/8 rods are much more expensive.

I might order a couple and see how they do.

I am glad your fellow's in the field enjoyed it, thank you!

Buckskin · « **Reply #13 on:** October 20, 2012, 09:08:38 PM »

The black one is no longer available.

The red one still is however.

Thanks.

land cruiser · « **Reply #14 on:** October 21, 2012, 08:48:07 AM »

Did you ever get those 3/8?

Buckskin · « **Reply #15 on:** October 21, 2012, 11:57:37 AM »

I have a few of them. Yes. Do you have something in mind?

land cruiser · « **Reply #16 on:** October 21, 2012, 01:56:38 PM »

Yep. Does it have to be a spirit? Can we do an animal or just piece of Burl?

Buckskin · « **Reply #17 on:** October 21, 2012, 02:58:52 PM »

I have no burl, but I could wood burn animals, figures, etc. Simple is best. I am not that skilled with a hot iron.

Here is an antelope I burned into a walking stick as an example.

If you have a piece of burl you want to use you could send it to me and we can work from there also.

land cruiser · « **Reply #18 on:** October 21, 2012, 08:07:22 PM »

very nice pronghorn! can you do an ibex or a sheep? bighorn preferable

Buckskin · « **Reply #19 on:** October 21, 2012, 08:45:56 PM »

I will look around for a bighorn I can steal for a pattern and let you know.

Thanks.

What do you think about one of these guys, Land Cruiser?

land cruiser · « **Reply #21 on:** October 23, 2012, 03:00:04 PM »

I like the one on the left. Let's do it.

Buckskin · « **Reply #22 on:** October 23, 2012, 07:01:34 PM »

Sounds good. Do I have license for the length of the handle? Or do you like the 3" handle on the one you have?

How short can you go? I intend to carry this one in the sheath with me.

Buckskin · « **Reply #24 on:** October 24, 2012, 06:00:17 AM »

I will make it as short as I can then and still be able to burn the ram in.

Trkbusa06 · « **Reply #25 on:** October 24, 2012, 12:09:01 PM »

I may be in the market soon for a spirit steel :-)

Buckskin · « **Reply #30 on:** October 25, 2012, 10:27:47 PM »

Okay, we will cross the bridge when we get there then. Thanks

Trkbusa06 · « **Reply #31 on:** December 06, 2012, 05:15:41 AM »

The Red steel is gone now.

I am willing to take orders for any that one made. After Christmas I will likely make a few more to have on hand, but I prefer commissioned work (don't we all?)

Thanks all!
