Having a family and personal history with Timberline Lodge where much of this kind of artistry is found, I suddenly had an epiphany. My parents passed away in 2019. There was a surprise small life insurance policy that we split. For five years I have been searching for something of meaning in our family that would endure as an heirloom in which to use that money. This is perfect as a lasting legacy to Mom and Dad as well as the story of our family. Thank you so much for publishing this video!
That's fantastic to hear that you've found something worthy of your family's legacy. Thanks for sharing!
@@ABANAorg at least I found an idea. The shop at Timberline has next to nothing in iron. I found Darryl's website. It has little more. I wonder if he has retired.
Thank you so much for posting this video it has been hard to find information on making animal heads.
That was awesomeness
Thanks!
Making it look easy!
Wow , I enjoy making animal heads as my hobby , But watching Darryl bringing the wolf to life is so amazing . 👍🐺🤠
Glad you enjoyed it! We’ll be posting a few more in the coming weeks.🐻🦬
Great video. Would like to know more about the individual punches/fullers and the tool used at the vise for holding the material though.
There is another video in the works that goes over how to forge all the tooling, so stay tuned! (That video will probably drop next month.)
